Get full URL from a string using jQuery

Question

I am trying to find URL form a sting. I want to check if string contain any URL.

For that sake i wrote code :

function get_url_from_string(str) {
        var searchText = str,
          urls = searchText.match(/\b(http|https)?(:\/\/)?(\S*)\.(\w{2,4})\b/ig);
         for (var i = 0, il = urls.length; i < il; i++) {
            var ur=urls[i];
        }
        return ur;

    }

But it returning only URL with out any parameter. For Example if i pass:

Hi Check This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHOc-4D7MjY

It gives me https://www.youtube.com Only

I want to get full url. I have no idea of regular expression. Please help. Thanks

This \.(\w{2,4} says match a . then 2-4 characters of [a-zA-Z0-9_]. So your expression ends at the .com. Adding \S* after the \w{2,4} would allow it to continue until it hit a whitespace. regex101.com/r/rI1nN4/1 — chris85

try this -

/\b(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\/?\s/

Try This it works well for me.

      var url_regex = /(?:(?:https?|ftp):\/\/)?(?:\S+(?::\S*)?@)?(?:(?!(?:10|127)(?:\.\d{1,3}){3})(?!(?:169\.254|192\.168)(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?!172\.(?:1[6-9]|2\d|3[0-1])(?:\.\d{1,3}){2})(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[01]\d|22[0-3])(?:\.(?:1?\d{1,2}|2[0-4]\d|25[0-5])){2}(?:\.(?:[1-9]\d?|1\d\d|2[0-4]\d|25[0-4]))|(?:(?:[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]-*)*[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]+)(?:\.(?:[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]-*)*[a-z\u00a1-\uffff0-9]+)*(?:\.(?:[a-z\u00a1-\uffff]{2,})))(?::\d{2,5})?(?:\/\S*)?/gi;
      var text = "some text string here!!";
      var urls_array = [];
      while ((urls = url_regex.exec(text)) !== null) {
                            urls_array.push(urls[0]);
                    }

This code is used in my project

        var searchText = str,
          urls = searchText.match(/\b(http|https)?(:\/\/)?(\S*)\.(\w{2,4})?(.*)\b/ig);
         for (var i = 0, il = urls.length; i < il; i++) {
            var ur=urls[i];
        }
  alert(ur);
