How to turn url text into actual clickable URLs is easy with the Linkify function.
When creating user interface websites, you want to allow users to easily add URLs to other websites. This can be done with [Linkify] in Classic ASP. Just add in the Linkify() around your requested form element and allow the script to do all the work for you.
You must have the link formatted with the http:// or https:// at the beginning of it, or the link will not get created.

The Function
Function Linkify(Text) Dim regEx, Match, Matches, patternURLs, patternAnchors, lCount, anchorCount, replacements patternURLs = "((http|ftp|https)(:\/\/[\w\-_]+)((\.[\w\-_]+)+)([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])?)" patternAnchors = "<a[^>]*?>.*?</a>" Set replacements=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") ' Create the regular expression. Set regEx = New RegExp regEx.Pattern = patternAnchors regEx.IgnoreCase = True regEx.Global = True ' Do the search for anchors. Set Matches = regEx.Execute(Text) lCount = 0 ' Iterate through the existing anchors and replace with a placeholder For Each Match in Matches key = "<#" & lCount & "#>" replacements.Add key, Match.Value Text = Replace(Text,Cstr(Match.Value),key) lCount = lCount+1 Next anchorCount = lCount ' we now search for URls regEx.Pattern = patternURLs ' create anchors from URLs Text = regEx.Replace(Text, "<a href=""$1"">$1</a>") ' put back the originally existing anchors For lCount = 0 To anchorCount-1 key = "<#" & lCount & "#>" Text = Replace(Text,key, replacements.Item(key)) Next Linkify = Text End Function %>


You must provide the http:// or https:// before the URL string for it to be processed.
