http: grep syntax for use in Tex-Edit

Just wondering if anyone has any regex code for pulling out http:// links (or ftp://, etc.) and formatting them as href tags within Tex-Edit Plus.

I know there's code out there somewhere and parsing through the grep for breaking down a URI

^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?

provided from http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt is a great starting point but doesn't seem to work natively.

Just thought I would ask before I start heading into the long haul trying to account for urls ending with "." or "\r".

Here's my far from completed code so far. It uses Tex-Edits wildcard run right now. But I would like to switch to grep since it would be more precise.

--- snip ---

-- Basic routine for swapping characters or works out.
on swapIt(input, output)
repeat with i from 1 to count of input
tell window 1 of application "Tex-Edit Plus"
replace looking for item i of input replacing with item i of output with cases matching
end tell
end repeat
end swapIt

tell window 1 of application "Tex-Edit Plus"
-- format all urls
set urlEnd to {".html.", ".htm.", ".php.", ".shtml.", ".html" & return, ".htm" & return, ".php" & return, ".shtml" & return}
set urlNice to {".html .", ".htm .", ".php .", ".shtml .", ".html " & return, ".htm " & return, ".php " & return, ".shtml " & return}
my swapIt(urlEnd, urlNice)
replace looking for "http://^* " replacing with "<a href=\"^*\">^*</a>"
replace looking for " \">" replacing with "\">"
replace looking for " </a>" replacing with "</a>"
replace looking for "&lt; <a" replacing with "&lt;<a"
end tell
