Extract all links / URLs?

Thank you very much vbr.

This would be possible, however, in multiple steps - the simplest way I can see would be, to replace
www\.
with:
www.

first, and then remove the possibly duplicated part be replacing:
(https?://)http://

with
$1

Very sorry, cannot understand how to handle these lines.

this would be easier, it just seemed that you can also have URLs without this part. You may try:
www(\.[\w]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?

Thank you for the new one. Yes, that seems to work well, some URLs do not make it, but the most ones are alright, I would say.

OK, well, I will try it with those regexes. Thank you very much for your nice help.

I'm glad, it helped a bit;
sorry for the omission in the replacement recipe, which indeed doesn't make sense in this form. I meant a regular expression replacement of

www\.
with:
www.

and then:
(https?://)http://
with
$1

before the builtin pattern in PSPad can be used.

Thank you vbr.

Sorry for my bad understanding, I guess that might be right:

So in the window "Replace" add
www\.
to "Find" and
www.
to "Replace" and check "Regular Expressions", I assume
then execute, after add
(https?://)http://
to "Find" and
www.
to "Replace" and check "Regular Expressions" and the last step then using that PSPad regex. That it is.

By the way, how can one stop a running replacement or an URL extraction without using the Task Manager?

Many thanks again.

Ah, have I missed that: wouldn't it be much more easier to first use the built in regex, then with the built in regex a second time, now use it with "Find & Replace" to delete the same links you just copied in the first step and then use a simple regex to add "http", "https" to the remaining "www." and in the last step use the built in regex again to now copy the new http links?

Hi,
I'm guessing, the "h t t p : / / " part of the pattern is somehow being swallowed by the forum software.
the first step is to replace using regex:
www\.
to
h t t p : / / www.
[without spaces]

I guess, you can't stop the replacement while running (other than the mentioned "hard way"), you can check the option in the replace dialog to confirm each match.

hth,

Hi.

OK, thank you very much for helping.
