I am trying to pull out all the URLs from a text entered by the user by doing the following but am not able to get the desired result.

let regexp = /^(?:http(s)?:\/\/)?[\w.-]+(?:\.[\w\.-]+)+[\w\-\._~:/?#[\]@!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=.]+$/igm;
let str = "https://mysleepyhead.com http://skreem.io";

let array = [...str.matchAll(regexp)];

console.log(array);

Desired output would be 

Array ['https://mysleepyhead.com', 'http://skreem.io']

  • ^ and $ anchor to the beginning and end of the line. If the string you're dealing with is composed of multiple possible matches in a single line, don't use those anchors. regex101.com/r/q89Ipv/1 (you also probably want .match, not .matchAll) Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 6:12
  • @CertainPerformance i tried that. but when i do a match i am getting back null. would you be able to share a jsfidle or something. Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 6:43
  • "https://mysleepyhead.com http://skreem.io".match(/(?:http(s)?:\/\/)?[\w.-]+(?:\.[\w\.-]+)+[\w\-\._~:/?#[\]@!\$&'\(\)\*\+,;=.]+/igm) Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 6:44
  • @CertainPerformance some reason its matching other data as well. jsfiddle.net/4ubpL9we Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 6:59
  • You made the leading http optional. Maybe you want to make sure the match contains at least one . in it? (?:http(s)?:\/\/)?(?=[a-z])[\w-]+(?:\.[\w-]+)+(?:\/\S*)? or something of the sort Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 7:11
