I have a list of links that are just http://.........com's
is there an easy way of changing those into html links with thdomain as the anchor text.
other wise i would have to manually make 500 links into html links

not with html

your editor might or some server side code could.

You can just use an alternate editor that will make them links automatically. The few I can think of that might do that are some such as Dremweaver and Frontpage. I know Microsoft Word can do it although it would be odd, you can just copy all the links on there and save an HTML file but you'll get a lot of unwanted code. Try that and see if it works.

i tried di not work
i found a program called linkifier that works well
