Regular expression to find URLs within a string

Does anyone know of a regular expression I could use to find URLs within a string? I've found a lot of regular expressions on Google for determining if an entire string is a URL but I need to be able to search an entire string for URLs. For example, I would like to be able to find www.google.com and http://yahoo.com in the following string:

Hello www.google.com World http://yahoo.com

I am not looking for specific URLs in the string. I am looking for ALL of the URLs in the string which is why I need a regular expression.

This is the one I use

(http|ftp|https):\/\/([\w_-]+(?:(?:\.[\w_-]+)+))([\w.,@?^=%&:\/~+#-]*[\w@?^=%&\/~+#-])

Works for me, should work for you too.

Guess no regex is perfect for this use. I found a pretty solid one here

/(?:(?:https?|ftp|file):\/\/|www\.|ftp\.)(?:\([-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|$?!:,.]*\)|[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|$?!:,.])*(?:\([-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|$?!:,.]*\)|[A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|$])/igm

Some differences / advantages compared to the other ones posted here:

• It does not match email addresses
• It does match localhost:12345
• It won't detect something like moo.com without http or www

See here for examples

text = """The link of this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6038061/regular-expression-to-find-urls-within-a-string
Also there are some urls: www.google.com, facebook.com, http://test.com/method?param=wasd, http://test.com/method?param=wasd&params2=kjhdkjshd
The code below catches all urls in text and returns urls in list."""

urls = re.findall('(?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/)?[\w/\-?=%.]+\.[\w/\-&?=%.]+', text)
print(urls)

Output:

[
    'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6038061/regular-expression-to-find-urls-within-a-string', 
    'www.google.com', 
    'facebook.com',
    'http://test.com/method?param=wasd',
    'http://test.com/method?param=wasd&params2=kjhdkjshd'
]

None of the solutions provided here solved the problems/use-cases I had.

What I have provided here, is the best I have found/made so far. I will update it when I find new edge-cases that it doesn't handle.

\b
  #Word cannot begin with special characters
  (?<![@.,%&#-])
  #Protocols are optional, but take them with us if they are present
  (?<protocol>\w{2,10}:\/\/)?
  #Domains have to be of a length of 1 chars or greater
  ((?:\w|\&\#\d{1,5};)[.-]?)+
  #The domain ending has to be between 2 to 15 characters
  (\.([a-z]{2,15})
       #If no domain ending we want a port, only if a protocol is specified
       |(?(protocol)(?:\:\d{1,6})|(?!)))
\b
#Word cannot end with @ (made to catch emails)
(?![@])
#We accept any number of slugs, given we have a char after the slash
(\/)?
#If we have endings like ?=fds include the ending
(?:([\w\d\?\-=#:%@&.;])+(?:\/(?:([\w\d\?\-=#:%@&;.])+))*)?
#The last char cannot be one of these symbols .,?!,- exclude these
(?<![.,?!-])

I think this regex pattern handle precisely what you want

/(http|https|ftp|ftps)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/

and this is an snippet example to extract Urls:

// The Regular Expression filter
$reg_exUrl = "/(http|https|ftp|ftps)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/";

// The Text you want to filter for urls
$text = "The text you want  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6038061/regular-expression-to-find-urls-within-a-string to filter goes here.";

// Check if there is a url in the text
preg_match_all($reg_exUrl, $text, $url,$matches);
var_dump($matches);

Wrote one up myself:

let regex = /([\w+]+\:\/\/)?([\w\d-]+\.)*[\w-]+[\.\:]\w+([\/\?\=\&\#\.]?[\w-]+)*\/?/gm

It works on ALL of the following domains:

You can see how it performs here on regex101 and adjust as needed

If you have to be strict on selecting links, I would go for:

(?i)\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}/)(?:[^\s()<>]+|\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))

For more infos, read this:

An Improved Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching URLs

All of the above answers are not match for Unicode characters in URL, for example: http://google.com?query=đức+filan+đã+search

For the solution, this one should work:

(ftp:\/\/|www\.|https?:\/\/){1}[a-zA-Z0-9u00a1-\uffff0-]{2,}\.[a-zA-Z0-9u00a1-\uffff0-]{2,}(\S*)

I used below regular expression to find url in a string:

/(http|https)\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(\/\S*)?/

I found this which covers most sample links, including subdirectory parts.

Regex is:

(?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/|\b(?:[a-z\d]+\.))(?:(?:[^\s()<>]+|\((?:[^\s()<>]+|(?:\([^\s()<>]+\)))?\))+(?:\((?:[^\s()<>]+|(?:\(?:[^\s()<>]+\)))?\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))?

If you have the url pattern, you should be able to search for it in your string. Just make sure that the pattern doesnt have ^ and $ marking beginning and end of the url string. So if P is the pattern for URL, look for matches for P.

Here a little bit more optimized regexp:

(?:(?:(https?|ftp|file):\/\/|www\.|ftp\.)|([\w\-_]+(?:\.|\s*\[dot\]\s*[A-Z\-_]+)+))([A-Z\-\.,@?^=%&:\/~\+#]*[A-Z\-\@?^=%&\/~\+#]){2,6}?

Here is test with data: https://regex101.com/r/sFzzpY/6

Short and simple. I have not tested in javascript code yet but It looks it will work:

((http|ftp|https):\/\/)?(([\w.-]*)\.([\w]*))

Code on regex101.com

I use this Regex:

/((\w+:\/\/\S+)|(\w+[\.:]\w+\S+))[^\s,\.]/ig

It works fine for many URLs, like: http://google.com, https://dev-site.io:8080/home?val=1&count=100, www.regexr.com, localhost:8080/path, ...

I liked Stefan Henze 's solution but it would pick up 34.56. Its too general and I have unparsed html. There are 4 anchors for a url;

www ,

http:\ (and co) ,

. followed by letters and then / ,

or letters . and one of these: https://ftp.isc.org/www/survey/reports/current/bynum.txt .

I used lots of info from this thread. Thank you all.

"(((((http|ftp|https|gopher|telnet|file|localhost):\\/\\/)|(www\\.)|(xn--)){1}([\\w_-]+(?:(?:\\.[\\w_-]+)+))([\\w.,@?^=%&:\\/~+#-]*[\\w@?^=%&\\/~+#-])?)|(([\\w_-]{2,200}(?:(?:\\.[\\w_-]+)*))((\\.[\\w_-]+\\/([\\w.,@?^=%&:\\/~+#-]*[\\w@?^=%&\\/~+#-])?)|(\\.((org|com|net|edu|gov|mil|int|arpa|biz|info|unknown|one|ninja|network|host|coop|tech)|(jp|br|it|cn|mx|ar|nl|pl|ru|tr|tw|za|be|uk|eg|es|fi|pt|th|nz|cz|hu|gr|dk|il|sg|uy|lt|ua|ie|ir|ve|kz|ec|rs|sk|py|bg|hk|eu|ee|md|is|my|lv|gt|pk|ni|by|ae|kr|su|vn|cy|am|ke))))))(?!(((ttp|tp|ttps):\\/\\/)|(ww\\.)|(n--)))"

Above solves just about everything except a string like "eurls:www.google.com,facebook.com,http://test.com/";, which it returns as a single string. Tbh idk why I added gopher etc. Proof R code

This is a slight improvement on/adjustment to (depending on what you need) Rajeev's answer:

([\w\-_]+(?:(?:\.|\s*\[dot\]\s*[A-Z\-_]+)+))([A-Z\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[A-Z\-\@?^=%&/~\+#]){2,6}?

See here for an example of what it does and does not match.

I got rid of the check for "http" etc as I wanted to catch url's without this. I added slightly to the regex to catch some obfuscated urls (i.e. where user's use [dot] instead of a "."). Finally I replaced "\w" with "A-Z" to and "{2,3}" to reduce false positives like v2.0 and "moo.0dd".

Any improvements on this welcome.

A probably too simplistic, but working method might be:

[localhost|http|https|ftp|file]+://[\w\S(\.|:|/)]+

I tested it on Python and as long as the string parsing contains a space before and after and none in the url (which I have never seen before) it should be fine.

Here is an online ide demonstrating it

However here are some benefits of using it:

• It recognises file: and localhost as well as ip addresses
• It will never match without them
• It does not mind unusual characters such as # or - (see url of this post)

Using the regex provided by @JustinLevene did not have the proper escape sequences on the back-slashes. Updated to now be correct, and added in condition to match the FTP protocol as well: Will match to all urls with or without protocols, and with out without "www."

Code: ^((http|ftp|https):\/\/)?([\w_-]+(?:(?:\.[\w_-]+)+))([\w.,@?^=%&:\/~+#-]*[\w@?^=%&\/~+#-])?

Example: https://regex101.com/r/uQ9aL4/65

IMPROVED

Detects Urls like these:

• https://www.example.pl
• http://www.example.com
• www.example.pl
• example.com
• http://blog.example.com
• http://www.example.com/product
• http://www.example.com/products?id=1&page=2
• http://www.example.com#up
• http://255.255.255.255
• 255.255.255.255
• http:// www.site.com:8008

Regex:

/^(?:http(s)?:\/\/)?[\w.-]+(?:\.[\w\.-]+)+[\w\-\._~:/?#[\]@!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=.]+$/gm

I have utilize c# Uri class and it works, well with IP Address, localhost

 public static bool CheckURLIsValid(string url)
    {
        Uri returnURL;

       return (Uri.TryCreate(url, UriKind.Absolute, out returnURL)
           && (returnURL.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttp || returnURL.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttps));

        
    }

This regex is perfectly working for me, should work for you too

(http|ftp|https)://([\w_-]+(?:(?:\.[\w_-]+)+))([\w.,@?^=%&:/~+#-]*[\w@?^=%&/~+#-])?

I use the logic of finding text between two dots or periods

the regex below works fine with python

(?<=\.)[^}]*(?=\.)

Matching a URL in a text should not be so complex

(?:(?:(?:ftp|http)[s]*:\/\/|www\.)[^\.]+\.[^ \n]+)

https://regex101.com/r/wewpP1/2

I used this

^(https?:\\/\\/([a-zA-z0-9]+)(\\.[a-zA-z0-9]+)(\\.[a-zA-z0-9\\/\\=\\-\\_\\?]+)?)$

It is just simple.

Use this pattern: \b((ftp|https?)://)?([\w-\.]+\.(com|net|org|gov|mil|int|edu|info|me)|(\d+\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+))(:\d+)?(\/[\w-\/]*(\?\w*(=\w+)*[&\w-=]*)*(#[\w-]+)*)?

It matches any link contains:

Allowed Protocols: http, https and ftp

Allowed Domains: *.com, *.net, *.org, *.gov, *.mil, *.int, *.edu, *.info and *.me OR IP

Allowed Ports: true

Allowed Parameters: true

Allowed Hashes: true

(?:vnc|s3|ssh|scp|sftp|ftp|http|https)\:\/\/[\w\.]+(?:\:?\d{0,5})|(?:mailto|)\:[\w\.]+\@[\w\.]+

If you want an explanation of each part, try in regexr[.]com where you will get a great explanation of every character.

This is split by an "|" or "OR" because not all useable URI have "//" so this is where you can create a list of schemes as or conditions that you would be interested in matching.

How about this one?

(http:\/\/|ftp:\/\/|https:\/\/|www\.)([\w_-]+(?:(?:\.[\w_-]+)+))([\w.,@?^=%&:\/~+#-]*[\w@?^=%&\/~+#-])?

It matches both in the question.

This slightly simpler version of GooDeeJAY's answer serves me well (and supports e.g. # and other characters at the expense of increasing 'false positives'):

import re
text = """The link of this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6038061/regular-expression-to-find-urls-within-a-string
Also there are some urls: www.google.com, facebook.com, http://test.com/method?param=wasd, http://test.com/method?param=wasd&params2=kjhdkjshd#changed
The code below catches all urls in text and returns urls in list."""

regex = r"(?i)(https?://|www.|\w+\.)[^\s]+"
urls = [match.group() for match in re.finditer(regex, text)]
print(urls)

and outputs

[
'https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6038061/regular-expression-to-find-urls-within-a-string', 
'www.google.com,', 
'facebook.com,', 
'http://test.com/method?param=wasd,', 
'http://test.com/method?param=wasd&params2=kjhdkjshd#changed'
]

This expression also finds paths like: /path/text.html

NSString *urlRegex="(http|ftp|https|www|gopher|telnet|file)(://|.)([\\w_-]+(?:(?:\\.[\\w_-]+)‌​+))([\\w.,@?^=%&:/~+#-]*[\\w@?^=%&/~+#-])?";

This is a simplest one. which work for me fine.
