How to find a specific word in an URL?

Question

I have a string called "URL" which stores the url which comes dynamically. Now I would like to show whether the url from youtube or vimeo or facebook or google.

String URL = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0jmSsQ5ptw"; // this comes dynamically in my code

if [URL contains youtube word ] [ print "URL from YOUTUBE" ]

if [URL contains facebook word ] [ print "URL from FACEBOOK" ]

if [URL contains google word ] [ print "URL from GOOGLE" ]

if [URL contains vimeo word ] [ print "URL from VIMEo" ]

please help me how to find a word in a url.

Try split()

    String URL = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0jmSsQ5ptw";
    System.out.println("URL from "+URL.split("\\.")[1].toUpperCase());

Output:

URL from YOUTUBE
