The following will work to capture "site.com/index.html." without including the trailing punctuation:
\b(([\w-]+://?|www[.]|[\d\w-.]+?\.(a[cdefgilmnoqrstuwz]|b[abdefghijmnorstvwyz]|c[acdfghiklmnoruvxyz]|d[ejkmnoz]|e[ceghrst]|f[ijkmnor]|g[abdefghilmnpqrstuwy]|h[kmnrtu]|i[delmnoqrst]|j[emop]|k[eghimnprwyz]|l[abcikrstuvy]|m[acdghklmnopqrstuvwxyz]|n[acefgilopruz]|om|p[aefghklmnrstwy]|qa|r[eouw]|s[abcdeghijklmnortuvyz]|t[cdfghjkmnoprtvwz]|u[augkmsyz]|v[aceginu]|w[fs]|y[etu]|z[amw]|aero|arpa|biz|com|coop|edu|info|int|gov|mil|museum|name|net|org|pro)[/])[^\s()<>]*(\([\w\d]+\)|([^[:punct:]\s]|/)))

This does not work at all.  Very few of the regular expressions on this site do.

I understand.  Thanks.  I appreciate the help.  :)
It includes all TLDs but how do I exclude certain matches?
I've noticed that if a jpeg image is listed in the text it matches the .jp part of the extension and thinks it's a URL.

You still have {1} there.  It DOES NOTHING WASTE THREE CHARACTERS OF YOUR REGEX.
Get it?  {1} is useless.  Pointless.  Always.
a matches 1 a
a{1} matches 1 a
Same exact thing
Get it?

That should be better.

Thanks for the suggestion about the PERL "URI::Find".
I'm new to regexps and this worked in my tests.
I didn't see a regexp on this site that did exactly what I wanted.  I did notice the error with the second {1} after I'd already posted this. The last part of the regexp should be "coop){1}[:/]?.*?)(\s|$)" would also remove the need for the regexp to be followed by a newline or space.
Is there a way to change my post?

First off, the {1} do absolutely nothing except take up three characters (twice!).  Second, this is case sensitive.  Third, you should probably look at the Perl "URI::Find" module to see how to do it right.
