Title: Fails on URLs without filename but with query string
Name: Doug Warren
Date: 5/21/2020 8:12:22 PM
Comment:
If the URL has no filename but it does have a query string, this regular expression identifies the query string as the filename. Assuming that's still a legal URL, one way to correct this might be to forbid question marks in the filename capture group, perhaps by changing it to: (?<filename>[^\?]*?\.(?<ext>\w{2,4}))

If you are talking about the RE here, then put a question mark inside the <path> group at the end. like this:
(?:(?<protocol>http(?:s?)|ftp)(?:\:\/\/))
(?:(?<usrpwd>\w+\:\w+)(?:\@))?
(?<domain>[^/\r\n\:]+)?
(?<port>\:\d+)?
(?<path>(?:\/.*)*\/?)?
(?<filename>.*?\.(?<ext>\w{2,4}))?
(?<qrystr>\??(?:\w+\=[^\#]+)(?:\&?\w+\=\w+)*)*
(?<bkmrk>\#.*)?
note: I haven't tested to see if this broke anything.
The RE you included in your message does not seem to work with the first " character in it(even if escaped, not sure why it was there), and when removed it seems to work with both of your examples in the tester.

Can someone tell me how to get this regex to match "folder/sub" as the path when there is not a slash "/" at the end:
http://www.example.com/folder/sub
^(?:(http|https|ftp)("?:\:\/\/))(
?:(\w+\:\w+)(
?:\@))?([^\/\:\s\@]+)(
?:\:(\d+))?((
?:\/.*)*\/)?(.*?(
?:\.([\w]*))?)?(
?:\?([^#]*))?("?:\#(.*))?$
It only seems to correctly match the path if there's a slash at the end:
http://www.example.com/folder/sub/

I'm not very familiar with PHP or Perl since I don't activley use them but from what I can remember they don't have named captures.
You should be able to remove the <caputer name> and reference it by number. I don't know how I would keep track of all the captures without named captures.

I tried this unsuccessfully with Perl and PHP.
I couldn't find any mention of the (?<label>someStr) syntax in the Perl/PHP regex documentation I checked.
Is this proprietary to the MS or .NET regex implementation?
If not, could you show an Perl or PHP example?
Cheers anyway.

I prefer it this way:

* doesn't accept ftp://@toto.com or http://toto toto.com
* removed ':' and '#' and '?' from results (port, query, bookmark)
* added ^ and $
* accepts http://domain/toto (without ending /)
* accepts https://domain/toto.c (one char at end)
^(?:(http|https|ftp)(?:\:\/\/))(?:(\w+\:\w+)(?:\@))?([^/\:\s\@]+)?(?:\:(\d+))?((?:\/.*)*\/)?(.*?(?:\.([\w]*))?)?(?:\?([^#]*))?(?:\#(.*))?$

address each submatch simply by their index. So,
(?:(?<protocol>http(?:s?)|ftp)(?:\:\/\/))
actually becomes
(?:(http(?:s?)|ftp)(?:\:\/\/))
and can be address by objRE.Match(index).SubMatches(0)

Hi all.
I have discovered the problem I was having regarding the syntax error in my previous post. Here is a working version of this expression as I'm using it with VBSript in an ASP environment:
set objRE = new RegExp
objRE.Global = True
objRE.IgnoreCase = True
objRE.Pattern = "(?:(http(?:s?)|ftp)(?:(?:\:\/\/)))"&_
"(?:(\w+\:*\w+)(?:\@))?"&_
"([^/\r\n\:]+)?"&_
"(\:\d+)?"&_
"((?:\/.*)*\/)?"&_
"(.*?\.(\w{2,4}))?"&_
"(\??(?:\w+\=[^\#]+)(?:\&?\w+\=\w+)*)*"&_ "(\#.*)?"
NOTE: I've made a slight adjustment to the expression in the "usrpwd" submatch so that passwords are optional (i.e. myusername:[email protected] matches in the original, but now [email protected] should also match (for my purposes).
Also NOTE: the syntax errors were caused by the explicit 'submatch' names. VBSript (or ASP) doesn't support the (?<match_name>) propery. Instead, we have to address each submatch simply by their index. So,

Hello.
I'm trying to use this expression in an ASP environment. Below is my code:
set objRegExp = new RegExp
objRegExp.Global = True
objRegExp.IgnoreCase = True
objRegExp.Pattern = "(?:(?<protocol>http(?:s?)|ftp)(?:\:\/\/))"&_

"(?<filename>.*?\.(?<ext>\w{2,4}))?"&_

"(?<bkmrk>\#.*)?"
(sorry if there are unexpected line breaks in this forum...)
However, I'm getting this response: "Syntax error in regular expression".
I've cut-n-pasted the expression from this page, and I've tried to double-up the backslashes...but my experience with RegExpressions is limited. So, I'm not sure what type of syntax errors I should look for.
Note also that I cannot find any option in ASP's RegExp object to 'ignore pattern whitespace' - but I've been seeing that instruction a lot in these forums.

What sort of error are you getting? How are you using it and what are you trying to match? If you are using as is make sure you have set the ignore pattern whitespace option.

You should change the first line to:

and the port line to:
(\:(?<port>\d+))?
This way it actually returns the port number and it also matches addresses such as the following:

This is excellent, though I noticed that the colon character got sucked up into the port. Changing the port pattern to '(?:\:(?<port>\d+))?' fixes it. If you want the question mark out of the query string you can do the following as well '(?:\??(?<qrystr>(?:\w+\=[^\#]+)(?:\&?\w+\=\w+)*))*'.

The port expression \:\d+[^\/\r\n] did not work in this example, but \:\d+ is enought to do the port detection.
