How to extract all links from plain text?

Great decision. Use another editor and please another forum too.

pspad:

To extract URL, you can start with Find dialog and press [!] button
If regular expression doesn't fit, modify it as you need

Not Working Unicode URLs and Special URLs

[Window Title]
Info

[Content]
Next occurrence of "(news|http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&&:/~\+#]*[\w\-\@?^=%&&/~\+#])?" not found.

[OK]

This is a better and simple and working regular expression compared to the one proposed in the "!" Button.

(http:\/\/www\.|https:\/\/www\.|http:\/\/|https:\/\/).+

It wont eork if behind url is another text.

Test your expression on lines:

www.example.com some another text
maki is clever boy (ironic)

Answering to your question and requests is waste of time

White spaces should be ignored by advanced settings: Link
White spaces can be replaced with "," and changed to a CSV file to copy only the link in the first cell.

Did you test your wrong regular expression on lines I have sent you as example?
Do you want to tell me that
http://maki////is/correct\URL?
Your expression will find it.

Maybe you have only one URL on each line and nothing else.
Maybe you made lot of manual steps on your files before you will find your URLs. But I don't think so, cause you are too lazy do one additional click.

Ok.
The most perfect expression, ignores whitespace, text and other characters at the end of the line.

Boost.Regex Engine:
https?:\/\/(www\.)?[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%._\+~#=]{1,256}\.[a-zA-Z0-9()]{1,6}\b([-a-zA-Z0-9()@:%_\+.~#?&//=]*)

www.w3.org you're

UPDATE: Unfortunately, this regex does not work correctly throughout the text.
I wrote other working Universal(!) Regex URL that looks for all urls in any text.

Regex works only on tested Boost.Regex, Regex++ and Onigmo engines.

I don't know what PSPasd engine maybe Perl and Basic Regex. But it doesn't work in PSPad, it returns an error.

Send me examples of URL's what are not recognized by expression from PSPad

Where are the export settings and the result in a new TAB?
Match String Only

Any line, detect url contained in any mixed text.

www.1.com example.com 1
