Java 中匹配 URL 的正则表达式

Question

I use RegexBuddy while working with regular expressions. From its library I copied the regular expression to match URLs. I tested successfully within RegexBuddy. However, when I copied it as Java String flavor and pasted it into Java code, it does not work. The following class prints false :

public class RegexFoo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String regex = "\\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]";
        String text = "http://google.com";
        System.out.println(IsMatch(text,regex));
}

    private static boolean IsMatch(String s, String pattern) {
        try {
            Pattern patt = Pattern.compile(pattern);
            Matcher matcher = patt.matcher(s);
            return matcher.matches();
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
        return false;
    }       
}   
}

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try the following regex string instead. Your test was probably done in a case-sensitive manner. I have added the lowercase alphas as well as a proper string beginning placeholder.

String regex = "^(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]";

This works too:

String regex = "\\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]";

Note:

String regex = "<\\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]>"; // matches <http://google.com>

String regex = "<^(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]>"; // does not match <http://google.com>

Answer 2

The best way to do it now is:

android.util.Patterns.WEB_URL.matcher(linkUrl).matches();

Answer 3

I'll try a standard "Why are you doing it this way?" answer... Do you know about java.net.URL ?

URL url = new URL(stringURL);

The above will throw a MalformedURLException if it can't parse the URL.

Answer 4

The problem with all suggested approaches: all RegEx is validating

All RegEx -based code is over-engineered: it will find only valid URLs! As a sample, it will ignore anything starting with "http://" and having non-ASCII characters inside.

Even more: I have encountered 1-2-seconds processing times (single-threaded, dedicated) with Java RegEx package (filtering Email addresses from text) for very small and simple sentences, nothing specific; possibly bug in Java 6 RegEx...

Simplest/Fastest solution would be to use StringTokenizer to split text into tokens, to remove tokens starting with "http://" etc., and to concatenate tokens into text again.

If you want to filter Emails from text (because later on you will do NLP staff etc) - just remove all tokens containing "@" inside.

This is simple text where RegEx of Java 6 fails. Try it in divverent variants of Java. It takes about 1000 milliseconds per RegEx call, in a long running single threaded test application:

pattern = Pattern.compile("[A-Za-z0-9](([_\\.\\-]?[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)@([A-Za-z0-9]+)(([\\.\\-]?[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)\\.([A-Za-z]{2,})", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);

"Avalanna is such a sweet little girl! It would b heartbreaking if cancer won. She's so precious! #BeliebersPrayForAvalanna");
"@AndySamuels31 Hahahahahahahahahhaha lol, you don't look like a girl hahahahhaahaha, you are... sexy.";

Do not rely on regular expressions if you only need to filter words with "@", "http://", "ftp://", "mailto:"; it is huge engineering overhead.

If you really want to use RegEx with Java, try Automaton

Answer 5

This works too:

String regex = "\\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]";

Note:

String regex = "<\\b(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]>"; // matches <http://google.com>

String regex = "<^(https?|ftp|file)://[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-a-zA-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|]>"; // does not match <http://google.com>

So probably the first one is more useful for general use.

Answer 6

In line with billjamesdev answer, here is another approach to validate an URL without using a RegEx:

From Apache Commons Validator lib, look at class UrlValidator . Some example code:

Construct a UrlValidator with valid schemes of "http", and "https".

String[] schemes = {"http","https"}.
UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator(schemes);
if (urlValidator.isValid("ftp://foo.bar.com/")) {
   System.out.println("url is valid");
} else {
   System.out.println("url is invalid");
}

prints "url is invalid"

If instead the default constructor is used.

UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator();
if (urlValidator.isValid("ftp://foo.bar.com/")) {
   System.out.println("url is valid");
} else {
   System.out.println("url is invalid");
}

prints out "url is valid"

Answer 7

((http?|https|ftp|file)://)?((W|w){3}.)?[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z]+

check here:- https://www.freeformatter.com/java-regex-tester.html#ad-output

It sorts out theses entries correctly

• google.com
• www.google.com
• wwwgooglecom
• ft.
• Www.google.com
• .ft
• https://www.google.com
• https://
• https://www .
• https://google.com

Answer 8

When using regular expressions from RegexBuddy's library, make sure to use the same matching modes in your own code as the regex from the library. If you generate a source code snippet on the Use tab, RegexBuddy will automatically set the correct matching options in the source code snippet. If you copy/paste the regex, you have to do that yourself.

In this case, as others pointed out, you missed the case insensitivity option.

Answer 9

Here is a proposal of an URL parser regex that recognizes :

• Protocol
• Host
• Port
• Path (Document/folder)
• Get parameters

^(?>(?<protocol>[[:alpha:]]+(?>\:[[:alpha:]]+)*)\:\/\/)?(?<host>(?>[[:alnum:]]|[-_.])+)(?>\:(?<port>[[:digit:]]+))?(?<path>\/(?>[[:alnum:]]|[-_.\/])*)?(?>\?(?<request>(?>[[:alnum:]]+=[[:alnum:]]+)(?>\&(?>[[:alnum:]]+=[[:alnum:]]+))*))?$

This regex is able to parse an URL such :

jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://localhost:91/index.

There can be many way to engineer a URL regex, thus the one I propose can be lightly adapted to match more accurate URL grammars.

It can be tested on the following page : https://regex101.com/r/Dy7HE0/5

Be aware that langages native API for regex (such as java.util.regex) don't support smart character classes such as [[:alnum:]] and [[:alpha:]] .

Use instead \\w and \\d .

Answer 10

First, an regex example:

regex = “((http|https)://)(www.)?” 
+ “[a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\\+~#?&//=]{2,256}\\.[a-z]” 
+ “{2,6}\\b([-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\\+~#?&//=]*)”

*The URL must start with either http or https and *then followed by :// and *then it must contain www. and *then followed by subdomain of length (2, 256) and *last part contains top level domain like .com, .org etc.
