copied!<p>I suspect that I could much improve upon this, though at the minute this is the best I can offer (albeit I think that some kind of replace might work more efficiently):</p> <pre><code>var $words = $('p').text().split(' '); for (i in $words) { if ($words[i].indexOf('http://') == 0) { $words[i] = '<a href="' + $words[i] + '">' + $words[i] + '</a>'; } } $('p').html($words.join(' ')); </code></pre> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/davidThomas/weFNA/" rel="nofollow">JS Fiddle demo</a>.</p> <p>A slightly improved version of the above (but good lord, it's ugly...):</p> <pre><code>var punctuation = ['!',"'",'"',',','.']; $('p').each( function(){ $words = $(this).text().split(' '); for (i in $words){ if ($.inArray($words[i].charAt(0),punctuation) > -1 && $words[i].indexOf('http://') == 1){ alert($words[i]); } else if ($.inArray($words[i].charAt($words[i].length - 1),punctuation) > -1 && ($words[i].indexOf('http://') == 1 || $words[i].indexOf('http://') == 0)){ $words[i] = '<a href="'+$words[i].substring(0,$words[i].length-1)+'">' + $words[i].substring(0,$words[i].length-1) + '</a>' + $words[i].charAt($words[i].length-1); } else if ($words[i].indexOf('http://') == 0){ $words[i] = '<a href="' + $words[i] + '">' + $words[i] + '</a>'; } } $(this).html($words.join(' ')); }); </code></pre> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/davidThomas/weFNA/1/" rel="nofollow">JS Fiddle demo</a>.</p> <p>I'm not quite sure what to do about quoted links, though (text such as <code>"http://google.com"</code>, for example); and, honestly, I think that regex is probably the far, <em>far</em> better approach to this problem.</p>
