What regex would match the link below with line breaks in it and =.

  • 0

What regex would match the link below with line breaks in it and “=”. I am currently using this regex but it is not matching all of it:

((https?://)?([-\w]+\.[-\w\.]+)+\w(:\d+)?(/([-\w/_\.\,]*(\?\S+)?)?)*)

This is the example link:

    I had the same problem – spammers trying to obfuscate their URLs by breaking them up multiple times with ‘=\n’.

    Try this regex – it seems to work pretty well. It matches URLs that are broken TWO OR MORE times. It’s unlikely a valid URL will be broken up in this manner more than once.

    ['"]https?:\/\/(?:\S*=\s){2,}(?:\S*)['"]

    And if they’re putting breaks within the http, there’s this (a little hacky)

    ['"]h(?:=\s)?t(?:=\s)?t(?:=\s)?p(?:=\s)?s?:(?:=\s)?\/(?:=\s)?\/(?:\S*=\s){2,}(?:\S*)['"]
