Reply To: Shortest GREP Pattern to address URLs and e-mail addresses?

you could do S+.wwS+

or something like that couldn't you? this will find a string of [non space] characters, then a period, then 2 word characters, then a string of [non space] characters. I can't think of a website or email that wouldn't follow this format.

the only problem is that this query would find use any regular sentence that you ended and forgot to put a space after the period but forgot to put a space before typing the next paragraph.sure it'll also include characters that can't be placed in a url or email addy, but no regular sentence should have the a format that would equal the expression i described. please correct me if i'm wrong, i'm still learning too, and would love to learn more about GREP
