Automatic url replace with exceptions

[zereshade]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can help me on this one

I have a full text string where I want to automatically replace typed urls with actual html links. My problem is that strings sometimes will have code for embedding videos from youtube and the likes which include urls.

How do I replace urls with links while keeping embedded videos intact?

just make sure there are spaces

like an embed has:
"http://bla.com"

make a regex that looks for a link and surrounding spaces \s
