How can I find all www.?????.com in a txt document?

[trend]

I am trying to search through a txt document line by line and get any webpage out of it.

 

I have been learning about regex.. but I believe this will just return the whole line of there is a webaddress on it.

 

(to recap, I want any address..something like http://www.a.com, http://www.bcr.com, http://www.yada.com, http://www.etc.com)

 

I am trying to use:

Dim rx As New Regex("www\.*[\.net|\.com|\.org]")

 

But this is just returning the whole line (I think?)

 

What should I do to just return the website's url?

 

thanks

(?<=www\.)\S+(?=\.(com|org|co\.|edu|net|xxx))

 

1. [] is for matching single characters.

2. Throw in ?: groups if you need better performance.

3. There is a RegEx forum.
