[thelist] Quickly format text that contains e-mails and web site addresses?

Hi all,

I¹ve got a client that needs a members directory formatted ­ it goes
something like this:

[First name] [Last name]
[Address], [Postal]
[E-mail]
[Web site]

Rather than going through 200+ records and doing it manually, is there a
quick way to do it?

If I knew regex¹s better that might be an option...

I went through the Dreamweaver help and couldn¹t find any menu commands, and
I also hit Dreamweaver Exchange to see if anyone¹s built an extension to do
this ­ but I couldn¹t find anything.

Can anyone help me?  I¹m on a Mac, and we have Dreamweaver 4 and BBEdit 6.1
as editors.

Thanks!

P.S. - I tried to sell them a dynamic solution that only cost a couple
hundred more than my labour to do this and they still rejected it.  So here
I am, mired in boredom... :-) Oh well, it's money.
