Hi there,
I have a string containing some hyperlinks. I'd like to replace every
hyperlink with a HTML style link.
Example:
--------
Replace
'http://www.foo.com/any_url'
with
'<a href="http://www.foo.com/any_url">http://www.foo.com/any_url</a>'
What's the best way to do this if I have a few hundret strings to check?
Thanks in advance,
Nico
Well, this isn't the most robust and someone will probably say not to
use regular expressions, but the Q&D way is:
import re
fixed = re.sub(r'(http:[^\s\n\r]+)', r'<a href="\1">\1</a>',
your_string)
NB. If the URLs are malformed (like have spaces in them, or are broken
over several lines) this won't work right.
