One way to find URLs in a string using regex in Python is to use the re
module. We can create a regular expression pattern to match URLs, and then use the findall()
function from the re
module to find all matches in the string.
Here's an example code snippet:
main.py297 chars11 lines
In this code, we define a regular expression pattern that matches URLs. The pattern starts with "http" or "https", followed by a colon and two forward slashes. Then, we use a non-capturing group (?:)
to define a series of characters and character classes that can appear in the domain name and path of the URL. Finally, we use the +
operator to specify that the pattern should match one or more of these characters.
We then use the findall()
function from the re
module to find all matches of the pattern in the input text. This function returns a list of all matches found.
You can call this function with a string argument to find all URLs in the string. For example:
main.py135 chars4 lines
Note that this regex pattern may not match all possible URLs, but should cover most common cases. Also, it may match some non-URL strings that contain a similar pattern of characters. To improve the accuracy of the pattern, you can adapt it to fit the specific format of URLs you are looking for.
