Regular expressions and matching URLs with metacharacters
- by James P.
I'm having trouble finding a regular expression that matches the following String.
Korben;http://feeds.feedburner.com/KorbensBlog-UpgradeYourMind?format=xml;1
One problem is escaping the question mark. Java's pattern matcher doesn't seem to accept \? as a valid escape sequence but it also fails to work with the tester at myregexp.com.
Here's what I have so far:
([a-zA-Z0-9])+;http://([a-zA-Z0-9./-]+);[0-9]+
Any suggestions?
Edit: The original intent was to match all URLs that could be found after the first semi colon.
