soodoku / Liberal Regex Pattern for All URLs
Created July 11, 2016 02:21 — forked from gruber/Liberal Regex Pattern for All URLs
Liberal, Accurate Regex Pattern for Matching All URLs
The regex patterns in this gist are intended to match any URLs,
including "mailto:foo@example.com", "x-whatever://foo", etc. For a
pattern that attempts only to match web URLs (http, https), see:
https://gist.github.com/gruber/8891611
# Single-line version of pattern:
(?i)\b((?:[a-z][\w-]+:(?:/{1,3}|[a-z0-9%])|www\d{0,3}[.]|[a-z0-9.\-]+[.][a-z]{2,4}/)(?:[^\s()<>]+|\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\))+(?:\(([^\s()<>]+|(\([^\s()<>]+\)))*\)|[^\s`!()\[\]{};:'".,<>?«»“”‘’]))
