Question

Using the following string:

http://www.google.com.ar/setprefs?prev=http://www.google.com.ar/&sig=0_Kxz_cp1G52p8pcrDBlMIQhwJAL0%3D&suggon=2 https://plus.google.com/?gpsrc=ogpy0&tab=wX http://www.google.com.ar/webhp?hl=es&tab=ww http://www.google.com.ar/imghp?hl=es&tab=wi http://video.google.com.ar/?hl=es&tab=wv http://news.google.com.ar/nwshp?hl=es&tab=wn http://translate.google.com.ar/?hl=es&tab=wT https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm http://www.google.com.ar/intl/es/options/ http://books.google.com.ar/bkshp?hl=es&tab=wp http://scholar.google.com.ar/schhp?hl=es&tab=ws http://www.google.com.ar/blogsearch?hl=es&tab=wb https://www.google.com/calendar?tab=wc https://docs.google.com/?tab=wo https://sites.google.com/?tab=w3 http://groups.google.com.ar/grphp?hl=es&tab=wg http://www.google.com.ar/reader/?hl=es&tab=wy http://www.google.com.ar/intl/es/options/ https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin?hl=es&continue=http://www.google.com.ar/ http://www.google.com.ar/preferences?hl=es http://www.google.com.ar/preferences?hl=es-419 http://www.google.com.ar/advanced_search?hl=es-419 http://www.google.com.ar/language_tools?hl=es-419 http://www.google.com/history/optout?hl=es http://www.google.com.ar/webhp?hl=es-419 http://www.google.com.ar/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?answer=186645&form=bb&hl=es-419 http://www.google.com.ar/intl/es-419/ads/ http://www.google.com.ar/services/ http://www.google.com.ar/intl/es-419/privacy.html https://plus.google.com/112209395112018703654 http://www.google.com.ar/intl/es-419/about.html http://www.google.com/ncr javascript:void(0)

And this regex:

(http://)(www.){0,1}(google.com.ar)[\S]*

This code:

var result = links.match(new RegExp("(http://)(www.){0,1}(google.com.ar)[\S]*"));
for(var i = 0;i<result.length;i++)
{
    alert(result[i]);
}

Gives me this output:

1. http://www.google.com.ar
2. http://
3. www.
4. google.com.ar

I have already tried to test the regex in http://regexpal.com/ and http://www.regextester.com, and in both cases the highlighted matches are correct, so i guess the problem is with the code.
I’m really new with javascript so i can’t see the problem.

Thanks in advance

Use the g flag on your regex.

var result = links.match(/http:\/\/(?:www\.)?google\.com\.ar([\S]*)/g);
