Regex to extract domain from a url

Question

I want to extract the domain name from the url. For example for www.Edmunds.com/Toyota_Camry_Hybrid or http://jido.com I want to have www.Edmunds.com and jido.com

I have written the following regular expression:

Regex.Replace(Url, @"^([a-zA-Z]+:\/\/)?([^\/]+)\/.*?$", "$2");

It works fine for the first link but for the second link I get: http:

Could someone please help me with this?

Answer 1

You can use the Uri class to get specific parts of a URL.

var uri = new Uri("www.Edmunds.com/Toyota_Camry_Hybrid");
Console.WriteLine(uri.Host);

Answer 2

(?=http*).*\/(.*)|(.*?)\/

You can try this. See demo .
