I'm doing some pretty basic work with strings. What i'm doing is designing a program to pick weblinks out of a bunch of emails... i've got it to the point where i've got to decide if the line that i have read into a string contains a hyperlink. What i'm wondering is if there's an easy way to do it. All the hyperlinks follow pretty much the same format... i.e. http://www.something.com/scripts/runner.php?EA=200407022358440128 - http://www.something.com/scripts/runner.php?EA=2004070223584 40128 . My only problem is that, sometimes they might be surrounded by HTML tags and they're not always the same length. but they all contain http://www - http://www ., .com, /scripts/runner.php?. My best guess would be to do a search for each of those parts and dump it if it doesn't contain all of them. Except i don't know how to search Thanks again ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

You can use Regular Expressions for that: http://www.devjunkies.com/?name=viewart&type=1&tid=52 - http://www.devjunkies.com/?name=viewart&type=1&tid=5 2 |

First you need to write a search pattern to recognise links - do a google Then use Regexp to extract the matches (links) |
