I made this after seeing nexala's because i wanted it to capture correctly and www.

It's perfect. Tried all kinds of tricky stuff with the links and still worked.

Ok, but what about: zuggsoft.com or even worse, ipchicken.co.uk ?

It wont pick up either of these. I can give you a variable that contains ALL the tlds (.com, .net, .org, .edu, etc etc...) as of the time I created it if you'd like to incorporate that into the trigger. If I still have it anyways.

The reason it doesn't pick them up isn't because of TLDs, it already supports all of those. And besides, now that TLDs can be anything, making a list of them is pointless.

The reason it doesn't work is because this trigger requires some kind of protocol to start the URL, or a www. Without either of those, it won't work. You could try making one that doesn't require that, but I guess it's a worry about false positives.

Yeah I made it because expand will actually pick up the whole link.

Just like this being a pain:

hmm, Fang has a point about the tlds, BUT the majority still fall under that several hundred in my var, I guess the thing would be to use that as a stop-gap measure in my own implementation. Making it smart enough to pick up "anything" just isn't worth it.

Not really, %x%q pretty much does the job. Though I wonder how it'd cope with a URL terminated with a slash - my suspicion is poorly.

Of course. It captures everything. but it should still work, without typing in the last slash.

but again, it won't work without a www. or a protocol on it as it is. I would suggest adding ftp. to that as well.

ftp would be good.
My main point was %expand captures the whole link, unlike nexala's.

Yeah, I noticed that nice quirk. And btw, thanks for updating it ;)

Ahem, I rarely mess with the coding functionality of Zmud. How do you install this if you want it?

1)copy the code to the clipboard

2a)for small scripts like this, paste into the command line and press enter.
2b)for longer scripts (as a general guideline, more than 2 lines as displayed on the command line), open the ZMud text editor (umm, CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER?), paste there, and click the SEND button.

3)go into the Settings Editor and review the newly-created settings. ZMud will have improperly expanded variable references and done a few other things that you will need to fix to ensure smooth operation.
