Regular Expression Search / Replace (PSPad): Replace Fake Links (Underlined Text) with Real Links

 / Published in: Regular Expression
 

Sometimes HTML provided by clients or generated by WYSIWYGs contains links as plaintext with underlines in many instances and stripping this out by hand is time consuming. This search and replace (tested in PSPad, but may work in other code editors) will do the job for you.

  1. Search:
  2. <u>((http|http(s))://)?(www[^<]*)</u>
  3.  
  4. Replace:
  5. <a href="http$3://$4" target="_blank">$1$4</a>
