改进此正则表达式以包括它匹配的内容，直到它匹配某个字符

Question

Can someone please help me improve this regex so that it captures everything that starts with http://, https://, or www and then continues until it reaches a ' or ". It includes punctuation and is case-insensitive.

Here is the regular expression right now:

(wwww|https?://)

Answer 1

/(?:https?:\/\/|www)[^'"]*/i

I escaped the slashes since they could conflict if you use /.../ notation. [^'"] is an inverted character class that allows everything but quotes.

Edit: I removed the caret to match any occurrence of the pattern, :? to make the group non-capturing.
