tool to add http:// to all my links

I sometimes have a list of hundreds to thousands of domains that are named as
eg. abc.xyz.com instead of http://abc.xyz.com

instead of inserting http:// 1 by 1, is there any tool to auto add http:// infront of all my domain urls?

Thanks.

 

Have you tried notepads find and replace function

 

search and replace won't work coz all the domains first words are different.

if the url start with www. i can easily replace all of them with http://www.

but i have all kinda of subs such as david.somesite.com, crazymonkey.somesite.com etc...

 

You might try copying them into Excel, and then create another column with a formula like:

=CONCATENATE ("http://", A2)

Code (markup):

to produce that result.

Or if the links are embedded in HTML you could use a regular expression tool like this one to do a more complex replacement of whatever you want.

 

Excel works great for this.

 

Yes I use Excel too but in a different manner. Fill http:// in column A until whatever level. Then fill your domains in the column B. Select column A and column B, then copy. Paste it in notepad. Find and replace all the spaces between http:// and domain using the "find and replace" option. Replace the macro space with nothing. That's it.

My first post here by the way.

Thanks Guys! Excel works wonders!

 

I never thought of doing that and I always try and find the quickest way of doing things as time cost money.

I normally join the both columns together using something like =b3&""&c3

 

Use editor (like UltraEdit or gEdit on Linux) and replace "\n" with "\nhttp://" or something like that (href=" with href="http://).
