Sure : As per each item respectively:
I am looking to match any qualified URL, for the sake of conversation and getting me on the right path; I need to pull "http:// www.myexampledomain.com" out of any string that opens with javascript - I'll likely make a check prior to the Regex match that checks for this. To be a bit more helpful... I really want from "\"http://"; to the following "\"" or '. I am really not interested in anything that doesn't contain an http://, as it is likely a relative link that I'm going to have to build up to resolve anyway ( not in my current scope ) or it is some other protocol that I am not prepared to deal with in this implementation. Sample input would likely appear as follows: good: javascript( '', 0, "http://www.domain.com"; ); good: javascript( 'http://sub.domain.com' ); bad: javascript( 'somevar', './index.aspx' ); and I would hope to extract: 'http://www.domain.com' 'http://sub.domain.com' null As I believe I mentioned ( or perhaps didnt, don't particularly care to re-read my first ) I don't have any real experience with Regexes, but likely wont have a difficult time implementing it if I have some possible working examples for this match. Again, I greatly appreciate everyone's help and hope to hear back soon.
