include a space in between somewhere:

@"((https?|ftp|file)\://|www.)[A-Za-z0-9\.\-]+(/[A-Za-z0-9\?\&\=;\+!'\(\)\*\-\. _~%]*)*"

                                                                               |
                                                                          added space here

Just add space in last character class, and you can simplify your regex to:

(?:(?:https?|ftp|file)\://|www\.)[A-Za-z0-9.-]+(?:/[\w?&=;+!'()*.~% -]*)*

((https?|ftp|file)\://|www.)[A-Za-z0-9\.\-]+(/[A-Za-z0-9\?\&\=;\+!'\(\)\*\-\._~%]*)*([^<]+)*

Try this.See demo.

it won't work here regex101.com/r/hQ1rP0/82 (\s\S+)* will consume all the following characters.

adding this [^<>]* after the last also works. A simple solution is adding space inside the last character class..

Just add a backslash and a space at the end of your regex:

@"((https?|ftp|file)\://|www.)[A-Za-z0-9\.\-]+(/[A-Za-z0-9\?\&\=;\+!'\(\)\*\-\._~%\ ]*)*"
