How to change URL into hyper lnk in text file?

Submitted by kenweb on Wednesday, 3 March, 2004 - 04:45

Is there a way to make the url in my text file (e.g. http://www.sun.com) into a hyper link so I can just click on it and have it open in a browser instead of copying the url as I have to do now? Don't know if this is possible.

Open in Browser

There should be macros that allow you to select the URL and run a macro (macro menu, contextual menu, toolbar button, key combo) to open the URL in the browser of your choice. Not quite what you want, but better than copy/paste. I think the InfoViewer plugin might be something to look at as well.

Thanks Raster. I did not find

Thanks Raster. I did not find contextual menu under my macro menu and I can not find much information on the web about contextual menu either. However, I installed InfoViewer and it works. I will record a macro to do the display to reduce the number of steps. thanks.

Ok..here is how to do it:

Ok..here is how to do it:

* Install InfoViewer plugin
* make the following macro file open_url.bsh

// This macro looks for url from the position of the cursor down
// and open the first url it finds in a browser window through InfoViewer

SearchAndReplace.setSearchString("\\bhttp://[^ ]+\\b");
SearchAndReplace.setAutoWrapAround(false);
SearchAndReplace.setReverseSearch(false);
SearchAndReplace.setIgnoreCase(true);
SearchAndReplace.setRegexp(true);
SearchAndReplace.setSearchFileSet(new CurrentBufferSet());
SearchAndReplace.find(view);
infoviewer.InfoViewerPlugin.openSelectedText(view);

* Add context menu item for quick access.
Utilities -> Global Options -> context menu and add + this macro in.

so now when you want to open an url, bring cursor to a line above the url, right click and select open url from the context menu and the page will be displayed in a web browser.
