Feature Request: URL regex matching -> clickable links

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Regex pattern matching for URL -> clickable link in the terminal view.

agreed this would be an awesome feature.

however, it might be tough because the backend buffer is stored in a char[][] 
array,
which makes matching somewhat difficult.

we could solve this by keeping a second buffer updated that is just a String[], 
which
would make regexes easy to run, but might be harder to detect multi-line links 
when
wrapped by unknown remote apps.

Agreed, the ability to fork off the browser from embedded links would be a 
major 
usability enhancement.  Many programs already mark links in some manner (e.g. 
underline) which might make matching them a bit easier.  As it stands of 
course, 
copy and paste of URLs should work as a somewhat painful stopgap.

Might it be possible to get control over the regular expressions used and the
activities they tie into? Launching the Youtube player for Youtube links and the
Last.fm player for Last.fm station links as examples. Or even shortcuts to 
things
like ssh://user@host:port invoking another ConnectBot terminal.

This is basically fixed with r365, no?

True.

This is extremely useful.  Thanks!  Unfortunately, URLs are truncated at end of 
line.  Any URL exceeding the current display line length is cut off in the URL 
scan.

Of course, a workaround is to step the font size way down so the entire URL 
fits in 
a line (even if requires landscape mode) and then rescan.

just to clarify - has this hit the market yet? Any ETA if not?
