URL formatting + a new question

[mroatman]

I'm sure I am about to annoy many of you as I have no background in coding or VBA, but I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me resolve.



I have a 35-page Word document with several hundred embedded links. I need to complete the markdown for this document so that a proprietary Content Management System can read it. For links, the formula is [>URL|TEXT].

For example: Tallinn Botanic Garden appears in the Word document, but I need it to instead read [>http:// botaanikaaed.ee/en|Tallinn Botanic Garden].

To do this manually for hundreds of links is painstaking, so I'm looking for a bit of code that will scan my text for links, extract the URL, then reformat as above.

Is something like this possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.
