Making URLS/E-Mails Into Links

[Corey Martin]

Hello,

I'm outputting data from a flat-file into the browser, and I'd like to
output the URLs and E-Mails in link form.

The code now is simply this:
while (<FILE>) {
print "$_";
print "<br>";
}

How would I enhance this to make links out of e-mail addresses and URLs?
I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks!
Corey Martin

How 'bout this inside your while() loop?

if(m/\@/) {
print "<a href='mailto:$_ '>$_</a>";
}
elsif(m/http/) {
print "<a href='$_'>$_</a>";
}

One more thing to consider doing is chopping each line of the file.
