The expression successfully validate below urls.

1. http://www.google.com
2. http://google.com
3. https://www.google.com

Now i have a requirement to allow sub directory in urls which can allow n-level of sub directory. Like

http://www.google.com/dir1/dir2/...

How can i allow sub directory in above regular expression?

Thanks in advance.

Try this:

http(s)?:\/\/([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+(\/)?[.a-z0-9/-]+

Also you can check this related thread in which Matthew O'Riordan gives the regex to validate a url:

/((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-_]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@.\w_]*)#?(?:[\w]*))?)/
