I have String value that is txt (not html) that contains urls:
Blabla http://www.example.com/foo1/ blabla http://www.example.com/foo2/ blabla...
I need to grab all these urls from the string using Jsoup.
Is it possible?

You say you want to parse this string with jsoup? Or is it a parse result from jsoup? – fge Mar 18 '14 at 11:52

Parse such string as I mentioned - it is txt string, not HTML, so I cannot use finding hrefs by tag name "a". – user2148736 Mar 18 '14 at 11:53

Because I use Jsoup for parsing HTML pages, I've wanted to avoid to use own regular while parsing TXT strings. Thanks instead. – user2148736 Mar 18 '14 at 12:02

can't you grab all as html and regex out what you need. – ImGeorge Mar 18 '14 at 19:24

No, Jsoup won't do this for you. Jsoup parses HTML tags, not arbitrary strings.
If you had an HTML document containing a bunch of link tags (<a href="http://example.com/page.html>link text</a>), you could use Jsoup to parse the tags and extract the href attribute.
If you just have a string with some links, you probably want to use regular expressions, as suggested in a comment by PeterMmm.
