I am currently using the regex given below to add hrefs to my urls. But recently I got a bug because one of the urls had a full stop after it and the regex added the dot into the link.

(?:https?|ftps?)://[\\w/%.-]+", "<a href='$0'target='_blank'> $0</a>

So,can it be modfied so that it takes only one dot? I'm using Java.

  • Try this :\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&/~\+#])? or this \://[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(:[a-zA-Z0-9]*)?/?([a-zA-Z0-9\-\._\?\,\'/\\\+&%\$#\=~])*[^\.\,\)\(\s]$ – Ashwin Singh Jun 23 '12 at 12:25
  • I edited mine like this and it worked. "(?:https?|ftps?)://[\\w.]+/[\\w]+", " $0 " –  Jun 23 '12 at 21:21

I used this one:

(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&amp;:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&amp;/~\+#])?

But you can find a lot more here.
