same problem as Alient and as I can see, this is not solved. I want to use this pattern as mask for my textbox and there are some letters that only typed as upper case (e.g. G, L, N, O, Q, R, T, U) Any solution in this?

Fails for some that I tried: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Eric-Carlin-Quits-Drugs-Panel-Government-Adviser-Resigns-Over-Criminalisation-Of-Mephedrone/Article/201004115591826 http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Eric-Carlin-Quits-Drugs-Panel-Government-Adviser-Resigns-Over-Criminalisation-Of-Mephedrone/Article/201004115591826 but works for others of similar length such as www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/news/Leicester-East-MP-Keith-Vaz-calls-ban-legal-drug-mephedrone/article-1947876-detail/article.html

Hey! Hi! it's really great regex and wanna use it for my URI textbox. But There is a problem about case sensitive situation. whatever keyword I write, after "www." when ı started to write the url address, some letters comes as upper case and some comes lower case... it's kind of mixed letters... how can I fix it?

Title: Best URL matcher so far

This is the best URL matcher so far and I've tried dozens and dozens of regexps seeking for URLs Bravo, James! P.S. You can't expect to match blah.ru, cause nobody can guess that is URL. In fact, that is not URL. URL is http(s)://(www.)blah.ru or we can say that URL is URL without the protocol but with the www prefix. Saying that DOMAIN is URL - it just isn't. Look for the domain matches, there are plenty examples on this site.


Title: Not so flexible

Well, still, it won't match blah.ru or something like that :(


Title: Not as general as it needs to be

Comment:
To match a URL, see the CPAN module "URI::Find". Much more complex than what you list.
