文章获取 URL 的组成部分 （Regex） 讨论了解析 URL 以标识其各个组件。如果您想检查 URL 的格式是否正确，它应该足以满足您的需求。

如果你需要检查它是否真的有效，你最终将不得不尝试访问另一端的任何内容。

不过，一般来说，最好使用框架或其他库提供给您的函数。许多平台都包含解析 URL 的函数。例如，有 Python 的 urlparse 模块，在 .NET 中，可以使用 System.Uri 类的构造函数作为验证 URL 的方法。

什么平台？如果使用 .NET，请使用 System.Uri.TryCreate，而不是正则表达式。

例如：

static bool IsValidUrl(string urlString)
{
    Uri uri;
    return Uri.TryCreate(urlString, UriKind.Absolute, out uri)
        && (uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttp
         || uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttps
         || uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeFtp
         || uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeMailto
            /*...*/);
}

// In test fixture...

[Test]
void IsValidUrl_Test()
{
    Assert.True(IsValidUrl("http://www.example.com"));
    Assert.False(IsValidUrl("javascript:alert('xss')"));
    Assert.False(IsValidUrl(""));
    Assert.False(IsValidUrl(null));
}

（感谢 @Yoshi 的提示javascript:)

如果你真的在搜索最终匹配，你可能会在“一个好的 Url 正则表达式？”中找到它。

但是，真正匹配所有可能域并允许根据 RFC 允许的任何内容的正则表达式非常长且不可读，相信我;

非验证 URI 引用解析器

作为参考，以下是 IETF 规范：（TXT |HTML格式）。具体而言，附录 B. 使用正则表达式解析 URI 引用演示了如何解析有效的正则表达式。这被描述为，

对于非验证 URI 引用解析器的示例，该解析器将获取任何给定字符串并提取 URI 组件。

以下是他们提供的正则表达式：

^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?

正如其他人所说，最好将其留给您已经在使用的库/框架。

这是 RegexBuddy 使用的。

(\b(https?|ftp|file)://)?[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]+[-A-Za-z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]

它与以下匹配（在标记内）：** **

**http://www.regexbuddy.com**  
**http://www.regexbuddy.com/**

我编写了我的 URL（实际上是 IRI，国际化）模式以符合 RFC 3987 （http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3987.html）。这些是 PCRE 语法。

对于绝对 IRI（国际化）：

编辑 2011 年 3 月 7 日：由于 PHP 处理带引号字符串中的反斜杠的方式，默认情况下这些反斜杠不可用。您需要对反斜杠进行双转义，除非反斜杠在正则表达式中具有特殊含义。你可以这样做：

$escape_backslash = '/(?<!\\)\\(?![\[\]\\\^\$\.\|\*\+\(\)QEnrtaefvdwsDWSbAZzB1-9GX]|x\{[0-9a-f]{1,4}\}|\c[A-Z]|)/';
$absolute_IRI = preg_replace($escape_backslash, '\\\\', $absolute_IRI);
$IRI = preg_replace($escape_backslash, '\\\\', $IRI);
$IRI_reference = preg_replace($escape_backslash, '\\\\', $IRI_reference);

关于眼睑的回答帖子，上面写着“这是基于我对 URI 规范的阅读”：谢谢 Eyelidness，您的解决方案是我寻求的完美解决方案，因为它基于 URI 规范！精湛的工作。:)

我不得不做两个修改。第一个使用 preg_match（） 函数在 PHP （v5.2.10） 中获取正则表达式以正确匹配 IP 地址 URL。

我不得不在管道周围的“IP 地址”上方的行上再添加一组括号：

)|((\d|[1-9]\d|1\d{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}(?#

不知道为什么。

我还将顶级域的最小长度从 3 个字母减少到 2 个字母，以支持 .co.uk 和类似语言。

最终代码：

/^(https?|ftp):\/\/(?#                                      protocol
)(([a-z0-9$_\.\+!\*\'\(\),;\?&=-]|%[0-9a-f]{2})+(?#         username

这个修改后的版本没有根据 URI 规范进行检查，所以我不能保证它的合规性，它被更改以处理本地网络环境中的 URL 和两位数 TLD 以及其他类型的 Web URL，并在我使用的 PHP 设置中更好地工作。

作为PHP代码：

define('URL_FORMAT', 
'/^(https?):\/\/'.                                         // protocol
'(([a-z0-9$_\.\+!\*\'\(\),;\?&=-]|%[0-9a-f]{2})+'.         // username

')((([a-z0-9]\.|[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]\.)*'.                      // domain segments AND
'[a-z][a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]'.                                 // top level domain  OR
'|((\d|[1-9]\d|1\d{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}'.
'(\d|[1-9]\d|1\d{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])'.                 // IP address
')(:\d+)?'.                                                // port
')(((\/+([a-z0-9$_\.\+!\*\'\(\),;:@&=-]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*)*'. // path

'?)?)?'.                                                   // path and query string optional
'(#([a-z0-9$_\.\+!\*\'\(\),;:@&=-]|%[0-9a-f]{2})*)?'.      // fragment

再次感谢眼睑的正则表达式！

我一直在写一篇深入的文章，讨论使用正则表达式进行 URI 验证。它基于RFC3986。

正则表达式 URI 验证

虽然这篇文章还没有完成，但我提出了一个PHP函数，它可以很好地验证HTTP和FTP URL。这是当前版本：

// function url_valid($url) { Rev:20110423_2000
//
// Return associative array of valid URI components, or FALSE if $url is not
// RFC-3986 compliant. If the passed URL begins with: "www." or "ftp.", then
// "http://" or "ftp://" is prepended and the corrected full-url is stored in
// the return array with a key name "url". This value should be used by the caller.
//
// Return value: FALSE if $url is not valid, otherwise array of URI components:
// e.g.
// Given: "http://www.jmrware.com:80/articles?height=10&width=75#fragone"
// Array(
//    [scheme] => http
//    [authority] => www.jmrware.com:80
//    [userinfo] =>
//    [host] => www.jmrware.com
//    [IP_literal] =>
//    [IPV6address] =>
//    [ls32] =>
//    [IPvFuture] =>
//    [IPv4address] =>
//    [regname] => www.jmrware.com
//    [port] => 80
//    [path_abempty] => /articles
//    [query] => height=10&width=75
//    [fragment] => fragone
//    [url] => http://www.jmrware.com:80/articles?height=10&width=75#fragone
// )
function url_valid($url) {
    if (strpos($url, 'www.') === 0) $url = 'http://'. $url;
    if (strpos($url, 'ftp.') === 0) $url = 'ftp://'. $url;

              \.?                  # Top level domain can end in a dot.
            $                      # Anchor to end of string.
            /ix', $m['host'])) return FALSE;
    }
    $m['url'] = $url;

    return $m; // return TRUE == array of useful named $matches plus the valid $url.
}

此函数使用两个正则表达式;一个用于匹配有效通用 URI 的子集（具有非空主机的绝对 URI），另一个用于验证 DNS“点分隔部分”主机名。尽管此函数目前仅验证 HTTP 和 FTP 方案，但它的结构使其可以轻松扩展以处理其他方案。

我认为有些人因为暗示的修饰符而无法使用您的 php 代码。我按原样复制了您的代码并用作示例：

if(
    preg_match(
        "/^{$IRI_reference}$/iu",
        'http://www.url.com'
    )
){
    echo 'true';
}

请注意“i”和“u”修饰符。如果没有“u”，php 会抛出一个异常，说：

Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: character value in \x{...} sequence is too large at offset XX

我刚刚写了一篇博文，介绍了一个识别最常用格式的 URL 的绝佳解决方案，例如：

• www.google.com
• http://www.google.com
• mailto:[email protected]
• [email protected]
• www.url-with-querystring.com/?url=has-querystring

使用的正则表达式为：

/((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-_]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@.\w_]*)#?(?:[\w]*))?)/

Mathias Bynens 有一篇关于许多正则表达式的最佳比较的精彩文章：寻找完美的 URL 验证正则表达式

最好的一个发布有点长，但它几乎与你能扔给它的任何东西相匹配。

现在这是一个相当古老的线程，问题要求基于正则表达式的 URL 验证器。我在寻找完全相同的东西时遇到了线程。虽然很有可能编写一个非常全面的正则表达式来验证 URL。我最终选择了另一种做事方式——使用 PHP 的 parse_url 函数。

如果无法解析 url，则返回布尔值 false。否则，它将返回方案、主机和其他信息。这本身可能不足以进行全面的 URL 检查，但可以深入研究以进行进一步分析。如果目的是简单地捕捉错别字、无效方案等。这是完全足够的！

            var urlregex = new RegExp(

            return urlregex.test(textval);

我写了一个你可以运行的小时髦版本

它匹配以下 URL（这对我来说已经足够了）

public static void main(args) {
    String url = "go to http://www.m.abut.ly/abc its awesome"
    url = url.replaceAll(/https?:\/\/w{0,3}\w*?\.(\w*?\.)?\w{2,3}\S*|www\.(\w*?\.)?\w*?\.\w{2,3}\S*|(\w*?\.)?\w*?\.\w{2,3}[\/\?]\S*/ , { it ->
        "woof${it}woof"
    })
    println url 
}

http://google.com/help.php

www.m.google.com/help.php?a=5 (and all its permutations)
m.google.com/help.php?a=5 (and all its permutations)

对于任何不以 or 开头的 URL，重要的是它们必须包含 或httpwww/?

我敢打赌，这可以再调整一点，但它做得非常好，因为它是如此短小紧凑......因为你几乎可以把它分成 3 个：

find anything that starts with :http

https?:\/\/w{0,3}\w*?\.\w{2,3}\S*

find anything that starts with :www

www\.\w*?\.\w{2,3}\S*

or find anything that must have a text then a dot then at least 2 letters and then a or :?/

\w*?\.\w{2,3}[\/\?]\S*

I tried to formulate my version of url. My requirement was to capture instances in a String where possible url can be cse.uom.ac.mu - noting that it is not preceded by http nor www

String regularExpression = "((((ht{2}ps?://)?)((w{3}\\.)?))?)[^.&&[a-zA-Z0-9]][a-zA-Z0-9.-]+[^.&&[a-zA-Z0-9]](\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3})";

assertTrue("www.google.com".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("www.google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("http://www.google.com".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("http://www.google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("https://www.google.com".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("https://www.google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("google.com".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("google.mu".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("mes.intnet.mu".matches(regularExpression));
assertTrue("cse.uom.ac.mu".matches(regularExpression));

//cannot contain 2 '.' after www
assertFalse("www..dr.google".matches(regularExpression));

//cannot contain 2 '.' just before com
assertFalse("www.dr.google..com".matches(regularExpression));

// to test case where url www must be followed with a '.'
assertFalse("www:google.com".matches(regularExpression));

// to test case where url www must be followed with a '.'
//assertFalse("http://wwwe.google.com".matches(regularExpression));

// to test case where www must be preceded with a '.'
assertFalse("https://[email protected]".matches(regularExpression));

For Python, this is the actual URL validating regex used in Django 1.5.1:

import re
regex = re.compile(
        r'^(?:http|ftp)s?://'  # http:// or https://
        r'(?:(?:[A-Z0-9](?:[A-Z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Z0-9])?\.)+(?:[A-Z]{2,6}\.?|[A-Z0-9-]{2,}\.?)|'  # domain...
        r'localhost|'  # localhost...
        r'\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}|'  # ...or ipv4
        r'\[?[A-F0-9]*:[A-F0-9:]+\]?)'  # ...or ipv6
        r'(?::\d+)?'  # optional port
        r'(?:/?|[/?]\S+)$', re.IGNORECASE)

This does both ipv4 and ipv6 addresses as well as ports and GET parameters.

Found in the code here, Line 44.

whats wrong with plain and simple FILTER_VALIDATE_URL ?

 $url = "http://www.example.com";

if(!filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL))
  {
  echo "URL is not valid";
  }
else
  {
  echo "URL is valid";
  }

I know its not the question exactly but it did the job for me when I needed to validate urls so thought it might be useful to others who come across this post looking for the same thing

I was not able to find the regex I was looking for so I modified a regex to fullfill my requirements, and apparently it seems to work fine now. My requirements were:

• Match URLs w/o protocol (www.gooogle.com)
• Match URLs with query parameters and path (http://subdomain.web-site.com/cgi-bin/perl.cgi?key1=value1&key2=value2e)
• Don't match URLs where there are not acceptable characters (e.g. "'£), for instance: (www.google.com/somthing"/somethingmore)

Here what I came up with, any suggestion is appreciated:

@Test
    public void testWebsiteUrl(){
        String regularExpression = "((http|ftp|https):\\/\\/)?[\\w\\-_]+(\\.[\\w\\-_]+)+([\\w\\-\\.,@?^=%&:/~\\+#]*[\\w\\-\\@?^=%&/~\\+#])?";
 
        assertTrue("www.google.com".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("www.google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("http://www.google.com".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("http://www.google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("https://www.google.com".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("https://www.google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("google.com".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("google.co.uk".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("google.mu".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("mes.intnet.mu".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("cse.uom.ac.mu".matches(regularExpression));
 
        assertTrue("http://www.google.com/path".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("http://subdomain.web-site.com/cgi-bin/perl.cgi?key1=value1&key2=value2e".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("http://www.google.com/?queryparam=123".matches(regularExpression));
        assertTrue("http://www.google.com/path?queryparam=123".matches(regularExpression));
         
        assertFalse("www..dr.google".matches(regularExpression));
 
        assertFalse("www:google.com".matches(regularExpression));
 
        assertFalse("https://[email protected]".matches(regularExpression));
         
        assertFalse("https://www.google.com\"".matches(regularExpression));
        assertFalse("https://www.google.com'".matches(regularExpression));
         
        assertFalse("http://www.google.com/path'".matches(regularExpression));
        assertFalse("http://subdomain.web-site.com/cgi-bin/perl.cgi?key1=value1&key2=value2e'".matches(regularExpression));
        assertFalse("http://www.google.com/?queryparam=123'".matches(regularExpression));
        assertFalse("http://www.google.com/path?queryparam=12'3".matches(regularExpression));
         
    }

This one works for me very well. (https?|ftp)://(www\d?|[a-zA-Z0-9]+)?\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\:|\.)([a-zA-Z0-9.]+|(\d+)?)([/?:].*)?

The best regular expression for URL for me would be:

"(([\w]+:)?//)?(([\d\w]|%[a-fA-F\d]{2,2})+(:([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+)?@)?([\d\w][-\d\w]{0,253}[\d\w]\.)+[\w]{2,4}(:[\d]+)?(/([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)*(\?(&?([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})=?)*)?(#([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)?"

This might not be a job for regexes, but for existing tools in your language of choice. You probably want to use existing code that has already been written, tested, and debugged.

In PHP, use the parse_url function.

Perl: URI module.

Ruby: URI module.

.NET: 'Uri' class

Regexes are not a magic wand you wave at every problem that happens to involve strings.

The following RegEx will work:

"@((((ht)|(f))tp[s]?://)|(www\.))([a-z][-a-z0-9]+\.)?([a-z][-a-z0-9]+\.)?[a-z][-a-z0-9]+\.[a-z]+[/]?[a-z0-9._\/~#&=;%+?-]*@si"

To Check URL regex would be:

^http(s{0,1})://[a-zA-Z0-9_/\\-\\.]+\\.([A-Za-z/]{2,5})[a-zA-Z0-9_/\\&\\?\\=\\-\\.\\~\\%]*

Use this one its working for me

function validUrl(Url) {
    var myRegExp  =/^(?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/)(?:\S+(?::\S*)?@)?(?:(?!10(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?!127(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?!169\.254(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?!192\.168(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?!172\.(?:1[6-9]|2\d|3[0-1])(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[01]\d|22[0-3])(?:\.(?:1?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])){2}(?:\.(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-4]))|(?:(?:[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]+-?)*[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]+)(?:\.(?:[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]+-?)*[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]+)*(?:\.(?:[a-z\u00a1-\uffff]{2,})))(?::\d{2,5})?(?:\/[^\s]*)?$/i;

    if (!RegExp.test(Url.value)) {
        $("#urlErrorLbl").removeClass('highlightNew');
        return false;
    } 

    $("#urlErrorLbl").addClass('highlightNew'); 
    return true; 
}

This will match all URLs

• with or without http/https
• with or without www

...including sub-domains and those new top-level domain name extensions such as .museum, .academy, .foundation etc. which can have up to 63 characters (not just .com, .net, .info etc.)

(([\w]+:)?//)?(([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+(:([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+)?@)?([\d\w][-\d\w]{0,253}[\d\w]\.)+[\w]{2,63}(:[\d]+)?(/([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)*(\?(&?([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})=?)*)?(#([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)?

Because today maximum length of the available top-level domain name extension is 13 characters such as .international, you can change the number 63 in expression to 13 to prevent someone misusing it.

as javascript

var urlreg=/(([\w]+:)?\/\/)?(([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+(:([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+)?@)?([\d\w][-\d\w]{0,253}[\d\w]\.)+[\w]{2,63}(:[\d]+)?(\/([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)*(\?(&?([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})=?)*)?(#([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)?/;

$('textarea').on('input',function(){
  var url = $(this).val();
  $(this).toggleClass('invalid', urlreg.test(url) == false)
});

$('textarea').trigger('input');

Wikipedia Article: List of all internet top-level domains

I use this regex:

((https?:)?//)?(([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+(:([\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})+)?@)?([\d\w][-\d\w]{0,253}[\d\w]\.)+[\w]{2,63}(:[\d]+)?(/([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)*(\?(&?([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})=?)*)?(#([-+_~.\d\w]|%[a-fA-f\d]{2,2})*)?

To support both:

http://stackoverflow.com
https://stackoverflow.com

And:

//stackoverflow.com

Here is the best and the most matched regex for this situation

^(?:http(?:s)?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:[\w-]*)\.\w{2,}$

For convenience here's a one-liner regexp for URL's that will also match localhost where you're more likely to have ports than or similar..com

(http(s)?:\/\/.)?(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}(\.[a-z]{2,6}|:[0-9]{3,4})\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&\/\/=]*)

To match the URL up to the domain:

(^(\bhttp)(|s):\/{2})(?=[a-z0-9-_]{1,255})\.\1\.([a-z]{3,7}$)

It can be simplified to:

(^(\bhttp)(|s):\/{2})(?=[a-z0-9-_.]{1,255})\.([a-z]{3,7})

the latter does not check for the end for the end line so that it can be later used create full blown URL with full paths and query strings.

.append("[0-9]|[0-1][0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9])\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]")                             
.append("|[0-1][0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9]|0)\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1]")                         
.append("[0-9]{2}|[1-9][0-9]|[1-9]|0)\\.(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[0-1][0-9]{2}")

.append("(?:\\b|$)").toString()                 
).matcher("");

This should work:

function validateUrl(value){
	return /^(http(s)?:\/\/.)?(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)$/gi.test(value);
}

console.log(validateUrl('google.com')); // true
console.log(validateUrl('www.google.com')); // true
console.log(validateUrl('http://www.google.com')); // true
console.log(validateUrl('http:/www.google.com')); // false
console.log(validateUrl('www.google.com/test')); // true

You don't specify which language you're using. If PHP is, there is a native function for that:

$url = 'http://www.yoururl.co.uk/sub1/sub2/?param=1&param2/';

if ( ! filter_var( $url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL ) ) {
    // Wrong
}
else {
    // Valid
}

Returns the filtered data, or FALSE if the filter fails.

I found the following Regex for URLs, tested successfully with 500+ URLs:

/\b(?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/)(?:\S+(?::\S*)?@)?(?:(?!10(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?!127(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?!169\.254(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?!192\.168(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?!172\.(?:1[6-9]|2\d|3[0-1])(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[01]\d|22[0-3])(?:\.(?:1?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])){2}(?:\.(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-4]))|(?:(?:[a-z\x{00a1}-\x{ffff}0-9]+-?)*[a-z\x{00a1}-\x{ffff}0-9]+)(?:\.(?:[a-z\x{00a1}-\x{ffff}0-9]+-?)*[a-z\x{00a1}-\x{ffff}0-9]+)*(?:\.(?:[a-z\x{00a1}-\x{ffff}]{2,})))(?::\d{2,5})?(?:\/[^\s]*)?\b/gi

I know it looks ugly, but the good thing is that it works. :)

Explanation and demo with 581 random URLs on regex101.

Source: In search of the perfect URL validation regex

I think I found a more general regexp to validate urls, particularly websites

​(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,4}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)|(https?:\/\/)?(www\.)?(?!ww)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,256}\.[a-z]{2,4}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)

it does not allow for instance www.something or http://www or http://www.something

Check it here: http://regexr.com/3e4a2

I created a similar regex (PCRE) to the one @eyelidlessness provided following RFC3987 along with other RFC documents. The major difference between @eyelidlessness and my regex are mainly readability and also URN support.

The regex below is all one piece (instead of being mixed with PHP) so it can be used in different languages very easily (so long as they support PCRE)

The easiest way to test this regex is to use regex101 and copy paste the code and test strings below with the appropriate modifiers (gmx).

To use this regex in PHP, insert the regex below into the following code:

$regex = <<<'EOD'
// Put the regex here
EOD;

  (?:
    (?<scheme>
      (?<urn>urn)|
      (?&d_scheme)
    )
    :
  )?

with this:

  (?:
    (?<scheme>
      (?<urn>urn)|
      (?&d_scheme)
    )
    :
  )?

Note, however, that by replacing this, the regex does not become 100% reliable.

To Match a URL there are various option and it depend on you requirement. below are few.

_(^|[\s.:;?\-\]<\(])(https?://[-\w;/?:@&=+$\|\_.!~*\|'()\[\]%#,☺]+[\w/#](\(\))?)(?=$|[\s',\|\(\).:;?\-\[\]>\)])_i

#\b(([\w-]+://?|www[.])[^\s()<>]+(?:\([\w\d]+\)|([^[:punct:]\s]|/)))#iS

And there is a link which gives you more than 10 different variations of validation for URL.

https://mathiasbynens.be/demo/url-regex

This is not a regular expression but accomplishes the same thing (Javascript only):

function isAValidUrl(url) {
  try {
    new URL(url);
    return true;
  } catch(e) {
    return false;
  }
}

I hope it's helpful for you...

^(http|https):\/\/+[\www\d]+\.[\w]+(\/[\w\d]+)?

How about this:

^(https?:\/\/(?:www\.|(?!www))[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|www\.[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|https?:\/\/(?:www\.|(?!www))[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|www\.[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,})$

These are the test cases:

You can try it out in here : https://regex101.com/r/mS9gD7/41

As far as I have found, this expression is good for me-

(https?:\/\/(?:www\.|(?!www))[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|https?:\/\/(?:www\.|(?!www))[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|www\.[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,})

Working example-

function RegExForUrlMatch()
{
  var expression = /(https?:\/\/(?:www\.|(?!www))[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|https?:\/\/(?:www\.|(?!www))[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,}|www\.[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[^\s]{2,})/g;

  var regex = new RegExp(expression);
  var t = document.getElementById("url").value;

  if (t.match(regex)) {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "Successful match";
  } else {
    document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "No match";
  }
}

<input type="text" id="url" placeholder="url" onkeyup="RegExForUrlMatch()">

<p id="demo">Please enter a URL to test</p>

Below expression will work for all popular domains. It will accept following urls:

• www.yourwebsite.com
• http://www.yourwebsite.com
• www.yourwebsite.com
• yourwebsite.com
• yourwebsite.co.in

In addition it will make message with url as link also
e.g.
In above example it will make as hyperlinkplease visit yourwebsite.comyourwebsite.com

    }
    returnString = html;

    return returnString;
  }
}

After rigorous searching i finally settled with the following

^[a-zA-Z0-9]+\:\/\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.?[a-zA-Z0-9]+$|^[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[-a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+$

And this thing work for general in future URLs.

The best regex, i've found is: /(^|\s)((https?:\/\/)?[\w-]+(\.[\w-]+)+\.?(:\d+)?(\/\S*)?)/gi

For ios swift : (^|\\s)((https?:\\/\\/)?[\\w-]+(\\.[\\w-]+)+\\.?(:\\d+)?(\\/\\S*)?)

Interestingly, none of the answers above worked for what I needed, so I figured I would offer my solution. I needed to be able to do the following:

• Match , , , and http(s)://www.google.comhttp://google.comwww.google.comgoogle.com
• Match Github markdown style links like [Google](http://www.google.com)
• Match all possible domain extensions, like .com, or .io, or .guru, etc. Basically anything between 2-6 characters in length
• Split everything into proper groupings so that I could access each part as needed.

Here was the solution:

/^(\[[A-z0-9 _]*\]\()?((?:(http|https):\/\/)?(?:[\w-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6})(\))?$

This gives me all of the above requirements. You could optionally add the ability for ftp and file if necessary:

/^(\[[A-z0-9 _]*\]\()?((?:(http|https|ftp|file):\/\/)?(?:[\w-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,6})(\))?$

I think it is a very simple way. And it works very good.

var hasURL = (str) =>{
	var url_pattern = new RegExp("(www.|http://|https://|ftp://)\w*");
	if(!url_pattern.test(str)){
		document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 'No URL';
	}
	else
		document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = 'String has a URL';
};

<p>Please enter a string and test it has any url or not</p>
<input type="text" id="url" placeholder="url" onkeyup="hasURL(document.getElementById('url').value)">
<p id="demo"></p>

Here is a regex I made which extracts the different parts from an URL:

^((?:(?:http|ftp|ws)s?|sftp):\/\/?)?([^:/\s.#?]+\.[^:/\s#?]+|localhost)(:\d+)?((?:\/\w+)*\/)?([\w\-.]+[^#?\s]+)?([^#]+)?(#[\w-]*)?$

((?:(?:http|ftp|ws)s?|sftp):\/\/?)?(group 1): extracts the protocol
(group 2): extracts the hostname
(group 3): extracts the port number
(groups 4 & 5): extracts the path part
(group 6): extracts the query part
(group 7): extracts the hash part([^:/\s.#?]+\.[^:/\s#?]+|localhost)(:\d+)?((?:\/\w+)*\/)?([\w\-.]+[^#?\s]+)?([^#]+)?(#[\w-]*)?

For every part of the regex listed above, you can remove the ending to force it (or add one to make it facultative). You can also remove the at the beginning and at the end of the regex so it won't need to match the whole string.?^$

See it on regex101.

Note: this regex is not 100% safe and may accept some strings which are not necessarily valid URLs but it does indeed validate some criterias. Its main goal was to extract the different parts of an URL not to validate it.

https?:\/{2}(?:[\/-\w.]|(?:%[\da-fA-F]{2}))+

You can use this pattern for detecting URLs.

Following is the proof of concept

RegExr: URL Detector

^(http:\/\/www\.|https:\/\/www\.|http:\/\/|https:\/\/)?[a-z0-9]+([\-\.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*\.[a-z]{2,5}(:[0-9]{1,5})?(\/.*)?$

Regex:

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

If you would like to apply a more strict rule, here is what I have developed:

isValidUrl(input) {
    var regex = /^(((H|h)(T|t)(T|t)(P|p)(S|s)?):\/\/)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{2,100}\.[a-zA-Z]{2,10}(\/([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*))?/
    return regex.test(input)
}

Here is a good rule that covers all possible cases: ports, params and etc

/(https?:\/\/(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])(:?\d*)\/?([a-z_\/0-9\-#.]*)\??([a-z_\/0-9\-#=&]*)/g

Regardless the broad question asked, I post this for anyone in the future who is looking for something simple... as I think validating a URL has no perfect regular expression that fit all needs, it depends on your requirements, i.e: in my case, I just needed to verify if a URL is in the form of and I wanted to allow the or any other subdomain like I don't care about http(s) as in my app I have a field which says "enter the URL" so it's obvious what that entered string is.domain.extensionwwwblog.domain.extension

so here is the regEx:

/^(www\.|[a-zA-Z0-9](.*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)?((?!www)[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9])\.[a-z]{2,5}(:[0-9]{1,5})?$/i

The first block in this regExp is:

(www\.|[a-zA-Z0-9](.*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)? ---> we start to check if the URL start with or which means a letterOrNumber + (anyCharacter(0 or multiple times) + another letterOrNumber) followed with a dotwww.[a-zA-Z0-9](.*[a-zA-Z0-9])?

Note that the we translated by (anyCharacter(0 or multiple times) + another letterOrNumber) is optional (can be or not) that's why we grouped it between parentheses and followed with the question mark (.*[a-zA-Z0-9])?\.)??

the whole block we discussed so far is also put between parentheses and followed by ? which means both www or any other word (that represents a subdomain) is optional.

The second part is: ---> which represents the "domain" part, it can be any word (except www) starting with an alphabet or a number + any other alphabet (including dash "-") repeated one or more time, and ending with any alphabet or number followed with a dot.((?!www)[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]+[a-zA-Z0-9])\.

The final part is ---> which represent the "extension", it can be any alphabet repeated 2 or more times, so it can be com, net, org, art basically any extension[a-z]{2,}

A simple check for URL is

^(ftp|http|https):\/\/[^ "]+$

The following Regex works for me:

(http(s)?:\/\/.)?(ftp(s)?:\/\/.)?(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{0,256}\.[a-z] 
{2,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)

matches:

The best regex is a combination of the best answers here! hahaha! I have just tested them all, and put the best together! I changed it a little to only have one capture group! I was able to find 637 URLs in the source code of this page! Only a few false positives!

Thank you to @eyelidlessness for the extremely thorough (albeit long) RFC based regular expression.

For those of us using EICMAScript / JavaScript / Apps Script it doesn't work, however. Here is an otherwise exact replica of his answer that will work with these (along with a snippet to run for example - neat new feature!):

URL regexes from Android Open Source Project

Introduction

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) contains multiple code blocks with URL regular expressions in Patterns.java. It can be difficult for non-Java users to extract the regex patterns out of it because of unicode, so I wrote some code to do it. Because the regex patterns contain unicode, which literal string syntax can differ per programming language, I've added two formats of each regex pattern. For example, Java uses format, whereas PHP uses .\uUNICODE_NUMBER\u{UNICODE_NUMBER}

Pattern called "WEB_URL"

Description from API doc:

Regular expression pattern to match most part of RFC 3987 Internationalized URLs, aka IRIs.

Other patterns

Patterns.java contains more patterns, but posting them will hit the Stackoverflow post length limit. But I'll post the API descriptions of them here, so that you know about their existence and purpose. I've also added code below to output these patterns using Kotlin.

Pattern called "WEB_URL_WITHOUT_PROTOCOL"

Description:

Regular expression to match strings that do not start with a supported protocol. The TLDs are expected to be one of the known TLDs.

Definition:

"("
+ WORD_BOUNDARY
+ "(?<!:\\/\\/)"
+ "("
+ "(?:" + STRICT_DOMAIN_NAME + ")"
+ "(?:" + PORT_NUMBER + ")?"
+ ")"
+ "(?:" + PATH_AND_QUERY + ")?"
+ WORD_BOUNDARY
+ ")";

Pattern called "WEB_URL_WITH_PROTOCOL"

Description:

Regular expression to match strings that start with a supported protocol. Rules for domain names and TLDs are more relaxed. TLDs are optional.

Definition:

"("
+ WORD_BOUNDARY
+ "(?:"
+ "(?:" + PROTOCOL + "(?:" + USER_INFO + ")?" + ")"
+ "(?:" + RELAXED_DOMAIN_NAME + ")?"
+ "(?:" + PORT_NUMBER + ")?"
+ ")"
+ "(?:" + PATH_AND_QUERY + ")?"
+ WORD_BOUNDARY
+ ")";

Pattern called "AUTOLINK_WEB_URL"

Description:

Regular expression pattern to match IRIs. If a string starts with http(s):// the expression tries to match the URL structure with a relaxed rule for TLDs. If the string does not start with http(s):// the TLDs are expected to be one of the known TLDs.

Definition:

"(" + WEB_URL_WITH_PROTOCOL + "|" + WEB_URL_WITHOUT_PROTOCOL + ")")

Code to output the patterns from AOSP Patterns.java

This code is written in language Kotlin (a Java JVM based language). If converts the regex patterns from AOSP to a readable format:Patterns.java

import java.util.regex.Pattern

fun createPattern(pattern: Pattern, unicodeStringFormat: String): String =
    pattern.toString().flatMap {
        val charCode = it.code
        if (charCode > 126) {
            unicodeStringFormat.format(charCode).toList()
        } else {
            listOf(it)
        }
    }.joinToString("")

fun main() {
    val unicodeStringFormatJava = "\\u%04x"
    val unicodeStringFormatPHP = "\\u{%04x}"

    // Pattern: WEB_URL
    println(createPattern(Patterns.WEB_URL, unicodeStringFormatJava))
    println(createPattern(Patterns.WEB_URL, unicodeStringFormatPHP))

    // Pattern: AUTOLINK_WEB_URL
    println(createPattern(Patterns.AUTOLINK_WEB_URL, unicodeStringFormatJava))
    println(createPattern(Patterns.AUTOLINK_WEB_URL, unicodeStringFormatPHP))

    // Pattern: WEB_URL_WITH_PROTOCOL (variable modified to public visibility)
    println(createPattern(Patterns.WEB_URL_WITH_PROTOCOL.toPattern(), unicodeStringFormatJava))
    println(createPattern(Patterns.WEB_URL_WITH_PROTOCOL.toPattern(), unicodeStringFormatPHP))

    // Pattern: WEB_URL_WITHOUT_PROTOCOL (variable modified to public visibility)
    println(createPattern(Patterns.WEB_URL_WITHOUT_PROTOCOL.toPattern(), unicodeStringFormatJava))
    println(createPattern(Patterns.WEB_URL_WITHOUT_PROTOCOL.toPattern(), unicodeStringFormatPHP))
}

Updated, International & Modern Answer for 2023 And Beyond

Covering 99%+ URLs supported by modern browsers, that includes:

• emojis 🤩 in domain name and path
• enforcing for top level domain: first character should be alpha but can have numbers afterwards, 2 characters minimum, up to the theoretical limit of 63, yet allowing underscores, accented characters and internationalized characters
• world's most common languages alphabets, characters & diacritics in path & domain name. Includes English (duh), French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Bengali, Devenagri, Marathi, ~99% Chinese (CJK), Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Urdu, Arabic, Greek, Cyrillic and all others that share their character sets with these
• Added versions with and without support for IPv4 URLs that are also used and seen online & supported by all modern browsers

Use this to include the protocol ("http/https") & IPv4 URLs:
