Short:
How do I get a regexp to highlight everything after a string, and stop highlighting on a space?

Long:
I'd like to be able to set a trigger up to fire when it sees "http" or "WWW" and highlight everything until it hits a space " "...

So in:

"This is OK of course, but really I'd like a colour version of www.bob.co.uk/gallery/my_favourite%20pic.jpg like this one http://www.fraggo.com/gallery.php??gibbergibber=1&7:stupidphpstuff <<cool huh?

It'd highlight

www.bob.co.uk/gallery/my_favourite%20pic.jpg

and

http://www.fraggo.com/gallery.php??gibbergibber=1&7:stupidphpstuff

I've released my URL highlighter (from a post a while back) as a plugin. You may need to amend the trigger slightly to match what you had above to make it match more general URLs.

Thanks. I'm starting to really get into Mushclient - well worth the money I spent. Now I have to dig out my old Madskillz and see if I can implement my own plugins...
