Extract all urls in a string with python3

Question

I am trying to find a clean way to extract all urls in a text string.

After an extensive search, i have found many posts suggesting using regular expressions to do t

Answer 1

output = [x for x in input().split() if x.startswith('http://') or x.startswith('https://') or x.startswith('ftp://')]
print(output)

After all you can also cut last character in elements of list if it is not a letter.

EDIT:

output = [x for x in input().split() if x.startswith('http://') or x.startswith('https://') or x.startswith('ftp://')]
newOutput = []
for link in output:
    copy = link
    while not copy[-1].isalpha():
        copy = copy[:-1]
    newOutput.append(copy)
print(newOutput)
