Yeah, i seem to want the impossible. www. was just for test purposes, when it was done i was going to implement a way around that. But that is if I could ever master regex in 24 hours. frown I suppose id more than likely just leave it to http://something.this.that to keep it simple. have it search for just http://*.*.* and replace all occurances with http colon //* dot * dot *. I've seen some regex in action on other languages, and it can do multiple search and replace perameters I know it. But I dunno about mirc's version of regex if that's possible frown. Anyway, thanks for your help and suggestions, seems I needed something that wasn't possible yet.
