Is there a way to automatically "parse" (<<<I think thats what its called) URL's in OOo? For example, lets say I have 5 urls that I copied and pasted into OOo. I want a way where I can automatically add UBB or vB code tags to the begining and end of each url.

example: http://www.rccars.com/image_1.jpg (these are fake by the way)
http://www.rccars.com/image_2.jpg
http://www.rccars.com/image_3.jpg
http://www.rccars.com/image_4.jpg
http://www.rccars.com/image_5.jpg

I want to be able to automatically have the tags put on the urls like this...

http://www.rccars.com/image_1.jpg (these are fake by the way)
http://www.rccars.com/image_2.jpg
http://www.rccars.com/image_3.jpg
http://www.rccars.com/image_4.jpg
http://www.rccars.com/image_5.jpg

Is there anyway to do this? This would save me LOTS of time. I usually just copy and paste the tags, which is a pretty quick way to do it, but its not fast enough when I have a lot of urls to tag. I know in photoshop you can batch rename a bunch of files, is that possible with the gimp also?

You might be able to setup a macro to do this....I haven't investigated that thoroughly though for this particular usage. Take a look at "Tools>Macros.
