javascript regex to check for certain special characters in a url

Question

I need a javascript regex to validate an streaming video url which starts with http or rtmp and whose length is <= 100 and which does not contain # % + , characters. I have come up with (http|rtmp)://.{10,93} for the first part and /^[^#%+,]+$/g for the second requirement.

I'm confused about combining these into a single regex. I'd appreciate any help in this direction. Thanks.

Answer 1

Could you not simply combine them like this?

^(http|rtmp)://[^#%+,]{10,93}$

Then you'd have http or rtmp followed by :// and between 10 and 93 characters which are outside of the ones you wish to exclude.
