I would like to be able to format a URL in my UITextField nicely. So say the text of the UITextField is
textField.text = @"Hi this is a page for my website http://www.mywebsite.com";
I would like it to automatically underline this mark it as a hyperlink and when a user taps on the link it opens up the site. This is similar to any twitter client that you have out there (tweetdeck, tweetbot, etc). How do I do this the easy way?

hey this is really simple, you can set the UITextFiled to detect Links, like so:
myTextView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeAll

You can use a UITextView instead and set the dataDetectorTypes property to the types of links you want to be able to handle.
