Hello Alexeï !

• Hm… There is only the Free version to download as a beta… ?

- It could be sufficient temporarily to test this, though…

The new highlighting feature works. Currently, with Unicode UTF-16 LE (I know, not supported yet)
the display switches to… hexa when the option is ON !

• Just waiting for the Pro version (and Unicode support ? ).

I have tested the URL highlightning a little. There are several protocols that are not supported, and when adding username and password to the URL, it is only highlighted until the @.

Here are examples of URL's that should all be fully highlighted but aren't:

file:///c:/mysite/index.htm
http://user:passw@mysite.com:80/index.htm?search
https://mysite.com
ftp://user:passw@mysite.com
gopher://mysite.com
news://comp.infosystems.www.misc
nntp://mysite.com
telnet://mysite.com
wais://mysite.com:210/database
prospero://mysite.com


You can see the basic RFC here http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1738

If you read this in a browser you will probably see that all the examples above are highlighted, indicating that this board recognizes them as URL's.

Hello Peter !

…There are several protocols that are not supported, and when adding username and password to the URL,
it is only highlighted until (up to *) the @ …

• Right, I confirm, but strangely, the e-mail addresses are totally highlighted as expected, including the @ and forward…

…If you read this in a browser you will probably see that all the examples above are highlighted…

- Which browser ? I read the forum in my crystal ball, it's well known !
• Hm… More seriously :  Are all these protocols needed really ? I just tested H T T P quickly to get a clue.
In your examples there is a couple of exotic ones I never heard about before… Maybe a poll by Alextp ?

• Anyway, I'm not a staunch supporter of such a feature in TXT, so optional is OK.
- However, I guess the highlighting could be bold too
(when not already in some other text formats, supposing that others be supported later…)

they all hilighted now. Thanks for testing: I missed protocols and '@'. The '/' as last char is not matched currently.

I changed regex for protocol to:
[a-z]{3,8}
instead of (ftp|http|gopher|..)

Hello !

• Is the changed beta available ?
- With the first one, there is a bug when viewing a text file in which is the same F T P URL root
repetitively as a large number of instances.
- It's highlighted by bunches of lines here and there, not all are, it's quite random…
- Just view a TC F T P short log (Log2.txt) to test that…

Note: I have 2 regex: one for web, one for emails.

It seems it works with all protocols now, TX. But the snag I reported above remains, please see THIS IMAGE…
- The file is 1850 lines (as the numbering of the gutter says).
- All above #182 are OK, all below aren't higlighted at all, despite this is the same URL…

All above #182 are OK, all below aren't higlighted at all

ah, you found it.
I have 100 URL records array. So urls below 100's are not found.

[petermad]

I changed regex for protocol to:
[a-z]{3,8}

I checked how the phpBB board does it - it uses: [\w]+?:// to detect the protocol part of the url.

The whole detection expression they use is:

Code: Select all

 (^|[\n ])([\w]+?://[\w\#$%&~/.\-;:=,?@\[\]+]*)
