URL not breaking

Out of 60+ stories we have posted, one had a lengthy url that had no break point and caused the entire page to horizontally scroll. Is there a fix that would check url length and change discription to "Go to story" if too long or should I edit the code to do that for all stories to avoid the problem?

In either case, how and where do I make the changes?

URL not breaking

I personal use this code for news:
[ url=  http://www.url-to-story ] Read more [ /url ] (without the spaces)

If you like to change the [ url ] [ /url ] code instead, find in core.php the following lines:
        $var = eregi_replace("\\[url\\]www.([^\\[]*)\\[/url\\]", "<a href=\"   http://www.\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\1</a>", $var);

        $var = eregi_replace("\\[url\\]([^\\[]*)\\[/url\\]", "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">\\1</a>", $var);


and replace it with:
        $var = eregi_replace("\\[url\\]www.([^\\[]*)\\[/url\\]", "<a href=\"   http://www.\\1\" target=\"_blank\">Go to story</a>", $var);

        $var = eregi_replace("\\[url\\]([^\\[]*)\\[/url\\]", "<a href=\"\\1\" target=\"_blank\">Go to story</a>", $var);
