Extracint various urls from a string

[dinoviapangea]

I'm trying to extract a list of urls from a string, as below. I can use Find, but that only gives me the position of the first occurance. I need some code to grab the whole word/url of all occurances.

Any help would be appretiated

Sample String:

This is an example text file with various urls. Some sites are

http://www.yahoo.com,

http://www.apple.com

and ftp://ftp.microsoft.com.

Just realized that a coldfusion script/code is somewhat doing what I want above. Something is highlighting the urls. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Dino
