Best tool to turn links into html code?

Say I need 200 links and turn them into <a href= bla bla or something like that, anyone have a good tool to do that? Besides search and replace :)

Mass search and replace :)

really not sure, maybe some mass editor can help you

I was hoping there was an application out there where you - for example - could input three rows:

Row One:
<li><a href="

Row Two:
the url

Row Three:
" rel="blabla etc

Every php developper will be able to code you this under the 20 minutes.

ultraedit should do the job

Just do it via find&replace (for example with Notepad++ or any other text editor).. first you replace 'http..' with '<a href="http...' then the ending :)

find and replace with regex, very easy

FHG Link Generator might work for you:

You could do that in a spreadsheet. Would be pretty easy actually. All copy and paste. And then you concatenate the final cell.

Info1 Info2 Info3 concat

if you want, I can code you something like that for a few bucks... icq: 33375924 or woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details

Yea thanks for all the input :thumbsup

I just used Excel as always

easy to do, but how would you select the link text?

turning links into a hrefs is easy, but unless you have the proper link text that you want, unless you just want to turn them into a generic text.

Well, notepad does job for me, ++ of course.

Yea what I really wanted (and I see now that I was a bit unclear) is to take something like:

title, description, url

and turn that into

<li><a href="url" relation="the same for all" title="description">title</a></li>

And imagine I have a big ass list of urls I wanted to do this with. It's ok though, I'll ring up a mate and have him write me an application that'll do that.

something like this maybe?

Code:

<?



// title,description,url



$fcontents = file('links.txt');



while (list ($line_num, $line) = each ($fcontents)) {

    $c[$count] = $line;

    $count++;

}



shuffle($c);



for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { 

    $ln = explode (',', $c[$i]);

    $title = $ln[0];

    $desc = $ln[1];

    $url = trim($ln[2]);

    echo '<li><a href="'.$url.'" title="'.$title.'" rel="external">'.$desc.'</a></li>';

}



?>
