Ok, To use the ? (optional) operator you need to have the optional value   Try https?://[^ ]*   notice the “s?” this says that the s is optional   a good test site is http://www.quanetic.com/regex.php   Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango & MDaemon Reseller Available for Web App. Developement From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 9:52 AM To: witango-talk@witango.com Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Auto a href   Okay, I am not a regex expert by any means, but I am trying to do something like this,   <@assign str "<@arg text>" SCOPE="user"> <@assign expr "http?://[^ ]*" SCOPE="user"> <@regex str="@@str" expr="expr" type="e">   but I keep getting a return of M regardless if I am typing anything with http:// in it or not.   I think this is on the right track, just wondering where to go from here...   Thanks!   On a more useful note that my previous:   <@assign request$str "visit http://www.google.com/modules/default.taf now"> <@assign request$expr "http?://[^ ]*"> <@regex str="@@request$str" expr="@@request$expr" type="e">   will return   http://www.google.com/modules/default.taf   Since the _expression_ is looking for the first space to terminate the url, it will include any punctuation (think url at end of sentence, the full stop will be included) and if the url spans multiple lines, the line returns will also be included.   J.     On 16/02/2005, at 11:39 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The challenge is to find the string that represents an URL, which begins with http:// and ends with the first space after that.   WITH IMAGINATION Planning, Implementation and Management of Web Applications   160 Pacific Highway North Sydney NSW Australia 2060 phone + 612 9929 9229 fax + 612 9460 4770  web - www.wi.com.au email -  [EMAIL PROTECTED]   ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/developer/maillist.taf
