Coldfusion 9 find web address in string and change it to html hyperlink

Can you give an example of the actual "string" and the expected output?

http://www.google.com  convert  <a href="http://www.google.com">http://www.google.com</a>

coldfusion findnocase web address in text string and replace with <a href="web address">web address</a>

Right, but are you searching for only "http://www.google.com" - or do you want to find any URL, like find "http://http://www.experts-exchange.com/", http://bing.com, etc... ? If you're trying to find any URL, you'll need to use a Regex. That's which not my area of expertise.  

Not sure if you can modify the question to add topics. If not, submit a "Request for Attention" and ask a moderator to add the regex topic to the question.

Find any url in the text string,

Ok.  Unfortunately, regex's aren't my strong suit.  I submitted a "Request for a Attention" and asked the mods to add that zone to your question to attract answers from a regex expert.

you can try this:

None of the examples are working.
