asked on URL Regex matches non-urls?
This regex:
matches URLs quite nicely, but it is failing on this line:
It is matching the [see... http] part.
What's wrong?
(https?:\/\/)?([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})([\/\w \.-]*)*\??(([a-zA-Z0-9]*=[a-zA-Z0-9]*)&?)*\/?
matches URLs quite nicely, but it is failing on this line:
I know that but your name is not on the list see... http://screencast.com/t/ccccccc
It is matching the [see... http] part.
What's wrong?

MarqusG: That does it. Why did your change work?
Ray: Read the whole article. A well written approach, and your use of whitespace to make regexes legible is brilliant. Whitespace is something that I have never really taken full advantage of. Points for the valuable insight!

Thank, Michael. All the best, ~Ray
What was the point of it, anyway? 0 or 1 times the group http:// or https:// ???
