Regular expression to match DNS hostname or IP Address?

Question

Does anyone have a regular expression handy that will match any legal DNS hostname or IP address?

It\'s easy to write one that works 95% of the time, but I\'m hoping

Answer 1

AddressRegex = "^(ftp|http|https):\/\/([0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}:[0-9]{1,5})$";

HostnameRegex =  /^(ftp|http|https):\/\/([a-z0-9]+\.)?[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*((\.[a-z]{2,6})|(\.[a-z]{2,6})(\.[a-z]{2,6}))$/i
