I am trying to do this using regular expressions in Java:

replace

http://whatever.com

with

<a href="http://whatever.com">http://whatever.com>

This URL is embedded within a String, i.e.:

String buffer = "The other I came across http://whatever.com. It is
cool.";

I want to perform some operation on this buffer and have the result
be:

"The other I came across <a
href="http://whatever.com">http://whatever.com>. It is cool."

Seems like this should be easy to do but I have been unsuccessful thus
far in finding a solution. Thanks.

Another factor to consider is that if the JVM allocates the byte buffer then it'll zero the memory for you, which will add a cost not so far off the cost of the copy -- but that might be acceptable if the C code would otherwise have to zero the memory itself. ...
