I have this regular expression to validate that a string is a valid url:
/((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+(:[0-9]+)?|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@.\w]*)#?(?:[\w]*))?)/
I do not know how to use it.
url="www.google.com"
print(re.compile(r'/((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+(:[0-9]+)?|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@.\w]*)#?(?:[\w]*))?)/',url))
Can someone give me a hand please? thank you
For starters you don't need the first and last slash python automatically uses them, secondly you need to make your expression a re object
import re
expr = re.compile(r'((([A-Za-z]{3,9}:(?:\/\/)?)(?:[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)?[A-Za-z0-9.-]+(:[0-9]+)?|(?:www.|[-;:&=\+\$,\w]+@)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+)((?:\/[\+~%\/.\w-]*)?\??(?:[-\+=&;%@.\w]*)#?(?:[\w]*))?)')
after that you can use the function match to see if the expression returns a valid instance
url="www.google.com"
if expr.match(url):
print("It is valid")
