This is a basic start for you since your source text may have a few gotchas. (not tested, just typed, so watch for any typos and as usual, your mileage may vary.) put incomingText into linkList replace cr with empty in linkList -- kill returns replace ".com" with ".com"&cr in linkList --if there were 5 links, you now have 6 lines in linkList delete line -1 of linkList repeat for each line LNN in linkList put word -1 of LNN &cr after newLinkList end repeat delete last char of newLinkList put newLinkList into linkList put empty into newLinkList replace "http://"; with empty in linkList replace "www." with empth in linkList --now we should only have the base URL for all lines put quote into q repeat for each line LNN of newLinkList get ("<a href="&q&"http://www."&LNN&"/ "&q) get it & (">http://www."&LNN&"/</a>") put it & cr after newLinkList end repeat delete last char of newLinkList use the same approach for the emails by put incomingText into emailList replace cr with empty in emailList replace "@" with "@"& cr in emailList repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in emailList put word -1 of line x & word 1 of line x+1 & cr after newEmailList end repeat delete last char of newEmailList Jim Ault Las Vegas _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
