Extracting for URL from string using regex

Question

I want to extract the first valid URL in a string, which can be anywhere between characters and whitespace

I have tried with the following

...
urlReg         


        

Answer 1

That's because the match result holds the whole string first that matches, then the groups. I guess you want the group, so you can do this:

url[1]
