Currently the Extract URLs filter has the following function:

Extract URLs. This filter lists http://, https://, ftp:// and gopher:// URLs one per line (using a DOS line feed, CR/LF).

Refrerring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_R ... Identifier
it's apparent that only four schemes are presently supported.

http
https
ftp
gopher

Since the filter was first included in TextPipe, several more schemes have emerged as URIs.

For example, Chrome has special URLs that load application-specific pages instead of websites or files on disk.

It would seem sensible therefore to permit the user to extend this filter to facilitate the extraction of URLs that make use of such further schemes.

Best regards,

Just updated this filter to support ANY scheme, from the previously supported mailto:, http:, https:, nntp:, gopher:, ftp:, ftps:, and new ones such as call: and skype:

Excellent.

I guess that means it would even support

Code: Select all

sword://

and

Code: Select all

bible://
