Question

I wish to match (java regex) all urls belonging to a certain domain except the ones looking like a query string.

For e.g. I wish to match

http://www.thehindu.com/arts/music/marrying-keys-to-chips/article4061904.ece

But avoid

http://www.thehindu.com/arts/music?article=23417

I tried the following but it allows both the above patterns.

+^http://www\.thehindu\.com([^\?=])*

Answer 1

Try this:

(^|\s)http:\/\/www\.thehindu\.com([^\?])*(\s|$)

Where the (^|\s) and (\s|$) are delimiters you expect between urls. Add more in those if you need.
