    Is there anyway in UE for the app to make any string that is a url into a clickable hot link like you would see say in outlook.

    Yes, I am lazy and know I can right click and choose open but is there a setting somewhere I am missing that can just scan any plain text file and make every url a hot link that will open is the associated application for that type of url http:// https:// htp:// etc...

    Thank you...

      Short answer: NO.

        Extra hint: At Advanced - Configuration - Key Mapping there is the command FileOpenFileUnderCursor. If you associate a hotkey to this command you can open a url in your files by a single key stroke. You don't need to select the url, if the cursor is anywhere inside the url.

        And with an appropriate syntax highlighting definition you could highlight all strings starting with http or ftp with color blue and underlined. They are still not real links, but they would look so.

        PS: Selecting a url or a file name is only required if the automatic string detection fails - see How to open a highlighted file name.
