You need to fix this example...
$tweet =~ s/http([s]?):\/\/([^\ \)$]*)/http$1://$2

Should read
$tweet =~ s/http([s]?):\/\/([^\ \$]*)/http$1://$2

Notice the extra ")" you had in the example

Wow. I was sitting there trying to learn about regular expressions to do this tiny little twitter bit for a WordPress plugin I was working on... I was getting annoyed, and I just decided to Google what I was trying to do, and bam, I came across your post. I wasn't execting to find an answer, but your post does exactly what I was trying to do! I Can't thank you enough!

Can I use this code in a GPL licensed plugin? I couldn't find a license or copyright statement on the code, but I read that you're a free software lover, so I'm assuming you'll say yes. :-)

Ops... i forgot the global search flag :P here's a new version of the javascript function...

function twitterAddLinks(text) { return text.replace( /http([s]?):\/\/([^\ \)$]*)/g, 'http$1://$2') .replace(/@([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)/g, '@$1') .replace(/\#([a-zA-Z0-9_]*)/g, '\#$1'); }

You need to modify the "complete example" because the link translation must take place first. Otherwise, all the previous links created are corrupted.
