Getting all links of a webpage using Ruby

Question

I\'m trying to retrieve every external link of a webpage using Ruby. I\'m using String.scan with this regex:

/href=\"https?:[^\"]*|href=\'https?:[^\         


        

Answer 1

why you dont use groups in your pattern? e.g.

/http[s]?:\/\/(.+)/i

so the first group will already be the link you searched for.
