I’m trying to scan some text to find any thing that has an http:// and
convert it into a link, if it does not allready have and anchor on it.
excuse my beginner aproch but what I’ve been doing is converting the
string into an array and looking for anything that starts with http://
and apending and to it. I cant help but think I’m
going around the long with this by converting it into an array.
You might want to look into hpricot:

things

Have you looked at the auto_link Rails helper method?
