URL and email regex

[Jesse Sng]

Hi,

Does anyone have a handy regex for detecting and selecting a chunk of 
text that is a to be made into a URL or an email address?

I want to create a quick utility to automatically mark up my text 
with some html tags that will form the URLs and email addresses into 
links without having to go through every single one of them. Even in 
a visual html web page editor, it can take quite a bit of time.

What I want to do is to search for those URLs and then embed tags in them.
