Help with Regex

[Jordan Smith]

Hi

I would my regular expression to convert URL to click here + a href.

I have the following regular expression:

  theSting.replaceAll("(http://[^\n\r\f \t]+)", " <A > click here </A> "))  

But in case that the user enters a URL with comma or period in the end, it converts it with the comma.

for example:

"go to http://jpost.com, and have fun"

will be go to click here

but the comma shouldn't be included in the href!

how can i write the regular expression so if there is comma/period + space, it would ignore it?

Thanks!

// Regex:
"http\\S+[a-zA-Z]"

// Replacement:
"<a \"$0\" rel="nofollow">click here</a>"

(The forum software "eats" the anchor tags, so add "href=" in front of "\"$0\"")

Note that the solution above will only accept urls that end with a letter. Expand it as you see fit.
