Following regular expression extract URLs from string (inc. query string) and returns array

var url = "asdasdla hakjsdh aaskjdh https://www.google.com/search?q=add+a+element+to+dom+tree&oq=add+a+element+to+dom+tree&aqs=chrome..69i57.7462j1j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 askndajk nakjsdn aksjdnakjsdnkjsn";

var matches = strings.match(/\bhttps?::\/\/\S+/gi) || strings.match(/\bhttps?:\/\/\S+/gi);

Output:

["https://www.google.com/search?q=format+to+6+digir&…s=chrome..69i57.5983j1j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8"]

Note: This handles both http:// with single colon and http::// with double colon in string, vice versa for https, So it's safe for you to use. :)
