Hey, first post this!
Is anyone sitting on good regexp functions (return true if valid,
otherwise false) for validating e-mail addresses and web URL:s?
Best-case scenario, I'm looking for a function that searches through a
portion of text and finds valid e-mail addresses and replaces them with
<a href="mailto:-address here-">-address here-</a>. Same goes for
URL:s, where it would be nice to do the same for valid links. What
would be an extra addition would be that it would recognize already
formatted e-mail and link URL:s in the text, and ignore them (or at
least not break them). URL:s would be formatted as above, but with the
"http://" and "ftp://" and such removed from the link text. I.e.
"http://www.domain.com" in the text would yield '<a
href="http://www.domain.com">www.domain.com</a>' in the end...
Anyone who can regexp this? Personally, I suck at regexps...:-(
