save hyperlinks in large html which are underlined?
-
Hey out there;
I was wondering , since using notepad noticed when hyperlinks (underscore characters) appear allows you to navigate www easily. I want to filter out all except these links / underscore to have only http addresse(s)? Way to do it just in notepad++? I know a few sed , grep tools , but how do you look for underscore char, different question I suppose. Tks in advance. Doug. ( water buoy)

The “underscoring” you are talking about is only visual.
You would have to go after – via search – the text of the http addresses themselves.
This is easier said than done, as it gets into “what is a regular expression for finding http addresses”?
Notepad++ itself uses this, which may not be perfect (I suspect this because sometimes Notepad++ interprets URLs in my text files incorrectly, usually by “spilling over” the underlining into adjacent non-URL text):
#define URL_REG_EXPR "[A-Za-z]+://[A-Za-z0-9_\\-\\+~.:?&@=/%#,;\\{\\}\\(\\)\[\]\\|\\*\\!\\\]+"Anyway, finding the text of URLs isn’t quite what you’d want; you’d want to find non-URL text so that you can delete it.

I just noticed that I ended my previous posting early. It should have read:
“Anyway, finding the text of URLs isn’t quite what you’d want; you’d want to find non-URL text so that you can delete it, leaving only the desired URL text.”
If you want further help in pursing this type of solution, please indicate that.
