Website RegEx pattern

[jrahma]

Hi,

How can I make a reguluar expression pattern which accepts websites only but includes all type of website domains, e…g [dot]online, [dot]co, [dot]com, http, https, etc…

I tried below but it’s not working with many domains

/^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)((\/\w+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(.*)?(#[\w\-]+)?$/

Thanks,

Jassim

Try this: (The following regex is written for a text editor, not JS.)

\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|$!:,.;]*[A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|$]

Samples: matches are yellow, not matched are not colored.

IF you cannot work with this, then supply a full range of samples showing exactly what you need to capture and what to do not wish to capture.

My knowledge of regex is severely limited and if Php was available I would use:

'sitepoint'===$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']

What am I missing?

Edit:
Replaced incorrect session with server.

Is this for client side validation of an input? You could just use type="url" in that case.
