How to validate a URL using regular expression in C#?
To validate, you need to check for the protocols.
http https
With that, you need to check for .com, .in, .org, etc.
For this, use the following regular expression −
(http|http(s)?://)?([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+[.com|.in|.org]+(\[\?%&=]*)?
The following is the code −
Example
using System; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; namespace RegExApplication { class Program { private static void showMatch(string text, string expr) { Console.WriteLine("The Expression: " + expr); MatchCollection mc = Regex.Matches(text, expr); foreach (Match m in mc) { Console.WriteLine(m); } } static void Main(string[] args) { string str = "https://example.com"; Console.WriteLine("Matching URL..."); showMatch(str, @"^(http|http(s)?://)?([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+[.com|.in|.org]+(\[\?%&=]*)?"); Console.ReadKey(); } } }
Output
Matching URL... The Expression: ^(http|http(s)?://)?([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]+[.com|.in|.org]+(\[\?%&=]*)? https://example.com
