Please see if the image below can help you to add the file and the screen shot with the error.

Thanks

I get an error message because of the french rules for punctuation. I can manuella ignore these "errors" but it would be convenient if I could automate this for web sites adresses.

Hi Manuella Lange 

I think Ana-Maria Matefi was heading in this direction once she knew what you were seeing.  There are two parts to this:

Part 1

You need to remove the colon from the French Punctuation rules here:

Part 2

You need to create a new rule for the colon but one that excludes http addresses.  To do this you can create a regular expression rule in here:

To make this more clear:

RegEx Source:
^(?:(?!http://))(\w*)(:\w*)

RegEx target:
$1 $2

Condition:
Grouped search expression - report if source matches but not target

This basically checks to see whether a string starts with http:// and if it does then it's ignored.  If it doesn't then it checks to see whethrer you used a space before the colon.  It won't catch inline web addresses so you'd have to play with the expression if you need that, but based on your example text it should be good.

Part 3

There is probably a part three to this for us.  To make sure that when French punctuation rules are activated and a colon is used, then don't check web addresses.

Hi again Paul. Your solution works like a charm ! Thank you so much...[Y]

Dear Paul,

Thank you very much for your message.

I had the same problem as Manuella. I exactly followed your instructions and everything worked well with web addresses starting with http:

The big issue now is the three parts once applied don't work with web addresses starting with https:

Please help.

Best regards,

Jean

Bonjour Jean,

Just go to the "expression régulière" window, click on the button to the right "Action" , then on "exemples" and finally on "contient un lien internet".

Bonne journée, Manuella
