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

Changing the end of the regex to (/\S*)?)$ should solve your problem.

To explain what that is doing -

• it is looking for / followed by some characters (not whitespace)
• this match is optional, ? indicated 0 or 1 times
• and finally it should be followed by a end of string (or change it to \b for matching on a word boundary).
