Regex find urls and replace with bbcode

Question

I'm writing program that replace link with bbcode. I need a regex that replace url with bbcode, example:

before

http://mediafire.com/abc (or http://dropbox.net/abc,...)

I want to filter that name of link also

after

[url=http://name-of-link.com/abc]http://name-of-link.com/abc[/url]

This is what I have got so far:

Search for:

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

Replace with:

[url=$1]$2[/url]

But it seems doesn't work. Hope anyone can help me out this issue. Thank you.

Edit:

My issue that I want to filter name of link also, because I don't want to replace link of image to bbcode.

You forgot to mention that in the question. Generally images are not recognizable from the URL itself. You can only guess that urls ending in e.g. `.jpg` or `.png` are probably images, but they don't have to be. — Wormbo, Sep 17 '15 at 16:36
IMO you need to write an actual example of what you want. In the above the expected result is confusing. — perreal, Sep 17 '15 at 16:47
@TheHung Don't know the language you're using, but can you try my generic shortcode processing library: https://github.com/thunderer/Shortcode ? Ping me if you need any help. — Tomasz Kowalczyk, Oct 22 '15 at 08:27

Check out this one:

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

replace (bb code)

- [url]($1)[/url]

replace (markup)

- [$1]($1)
