So....: 1. Find the http:// (www.,ftp://, etc.) part 2. Look, what character(s) precedes it until the first char in the line OR until the space a. If < is there, space OR > stops the link b. If [ is there, space OR ] stops the link a+b. If [ and < are there, space OR ] OR > stops the link c. If ( is there, calculate the number of (-s and then space OR the right number of ) stops the link a+c,b+c,a+b+c: see a+b 3. Cutoff the preceding chars and send the link. Is it a good method? -- Vili ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
