Regex to match URL

Question

I am using the following regex to match a URL:

$search  = \"/([\\S]+\\.(MUSEUM|TRAVEL|AERO|ARPA|ASIA|COOP|INFO|NAME|BIZ|CAT|COM|INT|JOBS|NET|ORG|PRO|TEL|AC|A         


        

Answer 1

I think this is simple and efficient /^(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\/?$/

Answer 2

[ftp:\/\/www\/.-https:\/\/-http:\/\/][a-zA-Z0-9u00a1-uffff0]{1,3}[^ ]{1,1000} 

This works fine for me in js

var regex = new RegExp('[ftp:\/\/www\/.-https:\/\/-http:\/\/][a-zA-Z0-9u00a1-uffff0]{1,3}[^ ]{1,1000}');
regex.exec('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FM7MFYoylVs&feature=youtu.be&t=20s');
