Hi, Rob! Try googling for "regex to find URLs" (or variants thereof). That returns LOTS of relevant links. Note that JavaScript uses mostly Perl- compatible regular expressions, so you can also look into examples posted for Perl and/or PHP code. The first result to the above query looks to be relevant: http://www.truerwords.net/articles/ut/urlactivation.html
