How can I scan a text (a String) and add links when a word is an URL?
I tried the following which works but it's too slow:

  String text = rs.getString("text");          
                text2scan=text.split("[\n ]")
        
                for(int i = 0; i < text2scan.length; i++){
               
                    String replacement = null;
                    String word = text2scan;

log.info(word);

if(word.indexOf(".com")!=-1){ 



replacement="<a href=\""+word+"\">"+word+"</a>";



text=text.replaceAll(word, replacement);

text=text.replaceAll("www","http://www");

text=text.replaceAll("http://http://","http://");

text=text.replaceAll(">http://",">");





}

}



Isn't this already implemented somewhere?



Thanks
