I'm assuming the problem here is that you use a HTML editor not a text editor to create your websites. If so, the easiest way to do a job like this is to use a text editor. But remember to save it as plain text, most text editors will save it in their own proprietary format by default, which will fuck up the page. Always choose "plain text" (or on some editors it will just say "text document"). If you are using a Windows machine the quickest way is to use Wordpad's search and replace function. (If you are using Apple or Linux, there is probably a similar program in there somewhere.) Open your text file in Wordpad, choose "replace" from the "edit" menu and do the following two substitutions:

Code:
Find what: http
Replace with: <a href="http
[REPLACE ALL]

Find what: html
Replace with: html">link</a>
[REPLACE ALL]
This assumes all your links end .html or .shtml. If you have links ending .htm .php .cgi .perl etc... you will have to do the second substitution again, replacing the html with whichever of those are in your links section.
