在文本中添加 html 超链接标记站点

Question

I'm new in Python and working on kind of converter from plain text, to "readable" html. So I've made almost all except making links to cool hyperlinks.

So, I need find and replace in text links, there is an example :

Input:

random_text
another_random_text: https://example.com/random_text
random_text

Output:

random_text
another_random_text: <a href="https://example.com/random_text">example.com</a>
random_text

I'm stucked with it and have no idea how to detect a link and cut it right

Answer 1

You can use regular expression for the task ( Regex101 link ). For example:

import re

s = '''
random_text
another_random_text: https://example.com/random_text
random_text
'''

s = re.sub(r'(https?://([^/]+)(?:[^\s]*))', r'<a href="\1">\2</a>', s)
print(s)

Prints:

random_text
another_random_text: <a href="https://example.com/random_text">example.com</a>
random_text
