Angular reactive forms pattern validation not working as expected - regex

I've a reactive forms validation for a password, and the pattern is the following:
new RegExp('^(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[#$^+=!*()#%&]).{8,50}$');
My goal is to validate the string so it is:
Between 8 & 50 characters
Has a lower case letter
Has an upper case letter
Has a number
And has a symbol
For some reason, it works like a charm, but if I enter a password that starts with a single number, the validation fails.
What am I doing wrong?
Example passwords:
1dD5a971# -- doesn't match
11dD5a971# -- does match
The angular code:
static PASSWORD_PATTERN = new RegExp('^(?=.*\\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[#$^+=!*()#%&]).{8,50}$');
this.form= fb.group({
user: [...],
password: ['', [Validators.compose([
Validators.required,
Validators.min(8),
Validators.max(50),
Validators.pattern(AddUserComponent.PASSWORD_PATTERN)
])]]
};
Thank you in advance.


I 'm not a regex expert but it may be much better if you make a multi pattern rather than just a complex pattern,the goal was for me to keep it simple as possible and you can have a different message base of the patterns.
this.form = fb.group({
password: [
"",
[
Validators.required,
Validators.minLength(8),
Validators.maxLength(50),
Validators.pattern(/[A-Z]/),
Validators.pattern(/[a-z]/),
Validators.pattern(/[0-9]/),
Validators.pattern(/[!##$]/),
]
]
});

Is it possible to modify a pattern Validator to include removing blank spaces written in an input field?

I have a validator running in which I check the format of the phone entered to be compatible with the information requested by the backend.
Would it be possible to modify this regex so that it removes or does not take into account if spaces are written between the numbers entered?
here my validator
this.formGroup = this.fb.group({
mobilePhone: [
'',
[
Validators.required,
CustomValidators.patternValidator(/^((\+)33|0|0033)[1-9](\d{2}){4}$/, { onlyNumber: true })
]
],
...
Thank you in advance?

REGEX:
/^(\+\d{1,3}[- ]?)?\d{10}$/
You can create regex and test on regex101.com
Here i have done for mobile number validation
If Regex Doesn't work then you can create a service for mobile number validation like this :
SERVICE File (validaion.service.ts)
import * as PhoneNumber from 'awesome-phonenumber';
static mobileNumberValidator(control) {
const mobile = new PhoneNumber.default(control.value, 'US');
return (!mobile.isValid() || !mobile.isMobile()) ? { invalidMobile: false } : null;
}
TS FILE
mobileNumber: ['', [Validators.required,
Validators.maxLength(13), ValidationService.mobileNumberValidator]],
HTML
<p class="error" *ngIf="editProfileForm.get('mobileNumber').touched && yourformName['mobileNumber'].errors ">
<span class="error-message"
*ngIf="!editProfile['mobileNumber'].errors.required && !editProfile.mobileNumber.errors.invalidMobile">
Cell phone number is not valid</span>
</p>

regex breaks when I use a colon(:)

I just started working with elastic search. By started working I mean I have to query an already running elastic database. Is there a good documentation of the regex they follow. I know about the one on their official site, but its not very helpful.
The more specific problem is that I want to query for lines of the sort:
10:02:37:623421|0098-TSOT {TRANSITION} {ID} {1619245525} {securityID} {} {fromStatus} {NOT_PRESENT} {toStatus} {WAITING}
or
01:01:36:832516|0058-CT {ADD} {0} {3137TTDR7} {23} {COM} {New} {0} {0} {52} {1}
and more of a similar structure. I don't want a generalized regex. If possible, could someone give me a regex expression for each of these that would run with elastic?
I noticed that it matches if the regexp matches with a substring too when I ran with:
query = {"query":
{"regexp":
{
"message": "[0-9]{2}"
}
},
"sort":
[
{"#timestamp":"asc"}
]
}
But it wont match anything if I use:
query = {"query":
{"regexp":
{
"message": "[0-9]{2}:.*"
}
},
"sort":
[
{"#timestamp":"asc"}
]
}
I want to write regex that are more specific and that are different for the two examples given near the top.

turns out my message is present in the tokenized form instead of the raw form, and : is one of the default delimiters of the tokenizer, in elastic. And as a reason, I can't use regexp query on the whole message because it matches it with each token individually.

Enforcing strong passwords in Kohana Auth

I am trying to enforce strong(er) passwords in my Kohana application using Auth, by using the following regex to require at least one upper case letter, one lower case, one number, one non-alphanum (special character), and a minimum of 8 characters.
^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[^A-Za-z0-9]).{8,}$
The regex is working, as can be seen on Rubular. Here's the code I'm using in Kohana's Model_Auth_User, which extends ORM.
public function rules() {
return array(
'password' => array(
array('not_empty'),
array('min_length', array(':value', 8)),
array('regex', array(':value', '/^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[^A-Za-z0-9]).{8,}$/'))
)
);
}
However, when creating a new user account, or changing the password of an existing one, this regex seems to be completely ignored. The min_length from the line above is working fine though!
It will stop me from using test as a password because it's less than 8 characters, but testing123 doesn't give any sort of error message.
Any ideas why this is happening and a way around it?

Figured it out - you have to add the regex to the get_password_validation function (in the same Model) or it doesn't output any error message.
public static function get_password_validation($values) {
return Validation::factory($values)
->rule('password', 'min_length', array(':value', 8))
->rule('password', 'regex', array(':value', '/^(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[^A-Za-z0-9]).{8,}$/'))
->rule('password_confirm', 'matches', array(':validation', ':field', 'password'));
}
If added, the regex in the rules() function needs to be removed or it's not possible to login as it runs the regex check on the hashed string, which doesn't contain any special characters.
Hope this helps someone.

mongo shell search for value like "/"fubak#drooop.com"/"

I may have let a bug loose on our code that essentially ruined some of our db data.
Every now and again we come across a username that has " " in his email so we need to fix this.
How can I search for a value like "/"fubak#drooop.com"/" in one field using my mongo shell?
I have been trying all the combinations I can think of like:
db.users.find(username: /"/" .* /)
and
db.users.find(username: //.*//)
or
db.users.find(username: /"".*/)
But nothing seems to work.

new RegExp('^".*')
This finds all the records that start with ".
Thanks.

Try this:
db.users.find({ email: "(?:[^\\"]+|\\.)* })
This will match all documents which contains quotes in the email

Not to sure which one is you problem, so the solutions to both possible scenarios with data in MongoDB like this:
{ "email" : "\"/\"fubak#drooop.com\"/\"" }
{ "email" : "/fubak#drooop.com/" }
{ "email": "\"blablabla#blip.ca\"" }
First document match:
db.problem.find({ email: /^\"/ })
Second document match:
db.problem.find({ email: /^\// })
Third document match
db.problem.find({ email: /^\"/ })
Do not know what you mean otherwise by "having quotes" as that is not valid JSON and by extension is also invalid BSON.

Getting parts of a URL (Regex)

Given the URL (single line):
http://test.example.com/dir/subdir/file.html
How can I extract the following parts using regular expressions:
The Subdomain (test)
The Domain (example.com)
The path without the file (/dir/subdir/)
The file (file.html)
The path with the file (/dir/subdir/file.html)
The URL without the path (http://test.example.com)
(add any other that you think would be useful)
The regex should work correctly even if I enter the following URL:
http://example.example.com/example/example/example.html

A single regex to parse and breakup a
full URL including query parameters
and anchors e.g.
https://www.google.com/dir/1/2/search.html?arg=0-a&arg1=1-b&arg3-c#hash
^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)((\/\w+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(.*)?(#[\w\-]+)?$
RexEx positions:
url: RegExp['$&'],
protocol:RegExp.$2,
host:RegExp.$3,
path:RegExp.$4,
file:RegExp.$6,
query:RegExp.$7,
hash:RegExp.$8
you could then further parse the host ('.' delimited) quite easily.
What I would do is use something like this:
/*
^(.*:)//([A-Za-z0-9\-\.]+)(:[0-9]+)?(.*)$
*/
proto $1
host $2
port $3
the-rest $4
the further parse 'the rest' to be as specific as possible. Doing it in one regex is, well, a bit crazy.

I'm a few years late to the party, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Uniform Resource Identifier specification has a section on parsing URIs with a regular expression. The regular expression, written by Berners-Lee, et al., is:
^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?
12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
The numbers in the second line above are only to assist readability;
they indicate the reference points for each subexpression (i.e., each
paired parenthesis). We refer to the value matched for subexpression
as $. For example, matching the above expression to
http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/#Related
results in the following subexpression matches:
$1 = http:
$2 = http
$3 = //www.ics.uci.edu
$4 = www.ics.uci.edu
$5 = /pub/ietf/uri/
$6 = <undefined>
$7 = <undefined>
$8 = #Related
$9 = Related
For what it's worth, I found that I had to escape the forward slashes in JavaScript:
^(([^:\/?#]+):)?(\/\/([^\/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?

I realize I'm late to the party, but there is a simple way to let the browser parse a url for you without a regex:
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = 'http://www.example.com:123/foo/bar.html?fox=trot#foo';
['href','protocol','host','hostname','port','pathname','search','hash'].forEach(function(k) {
console.log(k+':', a[k]);
});
/*//Output:
href: http://www.example.com:123/foo/bar.html?fox=trot#foo
protocol: http:
host: www.example.com:123
hostname: www.example.com
port: 123
pathname: /foo/bar.html
search: ?fox=trot
hash: #foo
*/

I found the highest voted answer (hometoast's answer) doesn't work perfectly for me. Two problems:
It can not handle port number.
The hash part is broken.
The following is a modified version:
^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)(:([^\/]*))?((\/\w+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?$
Position of parts are as follows:
int SCHEMA = 2, DOMAIN = 3, PORT = 5, PATH = 6, FILE = 8, QUERYSTRING = 9, HASH = 12
Edit posted by anon user:
function getFileName(path) {
return path.match(/^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)(:([^\/]*))?((\/[\w\/-]+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?$/i)[8];
}

I needed a regular Expression to match all urls and made this one:
/(?:([^\:]*)\:\/\/)?(?:([^\:\#]*)(?:\:([^\#]*))?\#)?(?:([^\/\:]*)\.(?=[^\.\/\:]*\.[^\.\/\:]*))?([^\.\/\:]*)(?:\.([^\/\.\:]*))?(?:\:([0-9]*))?(\/[^\?#]*(?=.*?\/)\/)?([^\?#]*)?(?:\?([^#]*))?(?:#(.*))?/
It matches all urls, any protocol, even urls like
ftp://user:pass#www.cs.server.com:8080/dir1/dir2/file.php?param1=value1#hashtag
The result (in JavaScript) looks like this:
["ftp", "user", "pass", "www.cs", "server", "com", "8080", "/dir1/dir2/", "file.php", "param1=value1", "hashtag"]
An url like
mailto://admin#www.cs.server.com
looks like this:
["mailto", "admin", undefined, "www.cs", "server", "com", undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined, undefined]

I was trying to solve this in javascript, which should be handled by:
var url = new URL('http://a:b#example.com:890/path/wah#t/foo.js?foo=bar&bingobang=&king=kong#kong.com#foobar/bing/bo#ng?bang');
since (in Chrome, at least) it parses to:
{
"hash": "#foobar/bing/bo#ng?bang",
"search": "?foo=bar&bingobang=&king=kong#kong.com",
"pathname": "/path/wah#t/foo.js",
"port": "890",
"hostname": "example.com",
"host": "example.com:890",
"password": "b",
"username": "a",
"protocol": "http:",
"origin": "http://example.com:890",
"href": "http://a:b#example.com:890/path/wah#t/foo.js?foo=bar&bingobang=&king=kong#kong.com#foobar/bing/bo#ng?bang"
}
However, this isn't cross browser (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL), so I cobbled this together to pull the same parts out as above:
^(?:(?:(([^:\/#\?]+:)?(?:(?:\/\/)(?:(?:(?:([^:#\/#\?]+)(?:\:([^:#\/#\?]*))?)#)?(([^:\/#\?\]\[]+|\[[^\/\]##?]+\])(?:\:([0-9]+))?))?)?)?((?:\/?(?:[^\/\?#]+\/+)*)(?:[^\?#]*)))?(\?[^#]+)?)(#.*)?
Credit for this regex goes to https://gist.github.com/rpflorence who posted this jsperf http://jsperf.com/url-parsing (originally found here: https://gist.github.com/jlong/2428561#comment-310066) who came up with the regex this was originally based on.
The parts are in this order:
var keys = [
"href", // http://user:pass#host.com:81/directory/file.ext?query=1#anchor
"origin", // http://user:pass#host.com:81
"protocol", // http:
"username", // user
"password", // pass
"host", // host.com:81
"hostname", // host.com
"port", // 81
"pathname", // /directory/file.ext
"search", // ?query=1
"hash" // #anchor
];
There is also a small library which wraps it and provides query params:
https://github.com/sadams/lite-url (also available on bower)
If you have an improvement, please create a pull request with more tests and I will accept and merge with thanks.

Propose a much more readable solution (in Python, but applies to any regex):
def url_path_to_dict(path):
pattern = (r'^'
r'((?P<schema>.+?)://)?'
r'((?P<user>.+?)(:(?P<password>.*?))?#)?'
r'(?P<host>.*?)'
r'(:(?P<port>\d+?))?'
r'(?P<path>/.*?)?'
r'(?P<query>[?].*?)?'
r'$'
)
regex = re.compile(pattern)
m = regex.match(path)
d = m.groupdict() if m is not None else None
return d
def main():
print url_path_to_dict('http://example.example.com/example/example/example.html')
Prints:
{
'host': 'example.example.com',
'user': None,
'path': '/example/example/example.html',
'query': None,
'password': None,
'port': None,
'schema': 'http'
}

subdomain and domain are difficult because the subdomain can have several parts, as can the top level domain, http://sub1.sub2.domain.co.uk/
the path without the file : http://[^/]+/((?:[^/]+/)*(?:[^/]+$)?)
the file : http://[^/]+/(?:[^/]+/)*((?:[^/.]+\.)+[^/.]+)$
the path with the file : http://[^/]+/(.*)
the URL without the path : (http://[^/]+/)
(Markdown isn't very friendly to regexes)

This improved version should work as reliably as a parser.

Above you can find javascript implementation with modified regex

Try the following:
^((ht|f)tp(s?)\:\/\/|~/|/)?([\w]+:\w+#)?([a-zA-Z]{1}([\w\-]+\.)+([\w]{2,5}))(:[\d]{1,5})?((/?\w+/)+|/?)(\w+\.[\w]{3,4})?((\?\w+=\w+)?(&\w+=\w+)*)?
It supports HTTP / FTP, subdomains, folders, files etc.
I found it from a quick google search:
Link

/^((?P<scheme>https?|ftp):\/)?\/?((?P<username>.*?)(:(?P<password>.*?)|)#)?(?P<hostname>[^:\/\s]+)(?P<port>:([^\/]*))?(?P<path>(\/\w+)*\/)(?P<filename>[-\w.]+[^#?\s]*)?(?P<query>\?([^#]*))?(?P<fragment>#(.*))?$/
From my answer on a similar question. Works better than some of the others mentioned because they had some bugs (such as not supporting username/password, not supporting single-character filenames, fragment identifiers being broken).

You can get all the http/https, host, port, path as well as query by using Uri object in .NET.
just the difficult task is to break the host into sub domain, domain name and TLD.
There is no standard to do so and can't be simply use string parsing or RegEx to produce the correct result. At first, I am using RegEx function but not all URL can be parse the subdomain correctly. The practice way is to use a list of TLDs. After a TLD for a URL is defined the left part is domain and the remaining is sub domain.
However the list need to maintain it since new TLDs is possible. The current moment I know is publicsuffix.org maintain the latest list and you can use domainname-parser tools from google code to parse the public suffix list and get the sub domain, domain and TLD easily by using DomainName object: domainName.SubDomain, domainName.Domain and domainName.TLD.
This answers also helpfull:

Here is one that is complete, and doesnt rely on any protocol.
function getServerURL(url) {
var m = url.match("(^(?:(?:.*?)?//)?[^/?#;]*)");
console.log(m[1]) // Remove this
return m[1];
}
getServerURL("http://dev.test.se")

None of the above worked for me. Here's what I ended up using:
/^(?:((?:https?|s?ftp):)\/\/)([^:\/\s]+)(?::(\d*))?(?:\/([^\s?#]+)?([?][^?#]*)?(#.*)?)?/

I like the regex that was published in "Javascript: The Good Parts".
Its not too short and not too complex.
This page on github also has the JavaScript code that uses it.
But it an be adapted for any language.
https://gist.github.com/voodooGQ/4057330

Java offers a URL class that will do this. Query URL Objects.
On a side note, PHP offers parse_url().

I would recommend not using regex. An API call like WinHttpCrackUrl() is less error prone.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384092%28VS.85%29.aspx

I tried a few of these that didn't cover my needs, especially the highest voted which didn't catch a url without a path (http://example.com/)
also lack of group names made it unusable in ansible (or perhaps my jinja2 skills are lacking).
so this is my version slightly modified with the source being the highest voted version here:
^((?P<protocol>http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?(?P<host>[^:\/\s]+)(?P<path>((\/\w+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+))*(.*)?(#[\w\-]+)?$

I build this one. Very permissive it's not to check url juste divide it.
^((http[s]?):\/\/)?([a-zA-Z0-9-.]*)?([\/]?[^?#\n]*)?([?]?[^?#\n]*)?([#]?[^?#\n]*)$
match 1 : full protocole with :// (http or https)
match 2 : protocole without ://
match 3 : host
match 4 : slug
match 5 : param
match 6 : anchor

I needed some REGEX to parse the components of a URL in Java.
This is what I'm using:
"^(?:(http[s]?|ftp):/)?/?" + // METHOD
"([^:^/^?^#\\s]+)" + // HOSTNAME
"(?::(\\d+))?" + // PORT
"([^?^#.*]+)?" + // PATH
"(\\?[^#.]*)?" + // QUERY
"(#[\\w\\-]+)?$" // ID
Java Code Snippet:
final Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(
"^(?:(http[s]?|ftp):/)?/?" + // METHOD
"([^:^/^?^#\\s]+)" + // HOSTNAME
"(?::(\\d+))?" + // PORT
"([^?^#.*]+)?" + // PATH
"(\\?[^#.]*)?" + // QUERY
"(#[\\w\\-]+)?$" // ID
);
final Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(url);
System.out.println(" URL: " + url);
if (matcher.matches())
{
System.out.println(" Method: " + matcher.group(1));
System.out.println("Hostname: " + matcher.group(2));
System.out.println(" Port: " + matcher.group(3));
System.out.println(" Path: " + matcher.group(4));
System.out.println(" Query: " + matcher.group(5));
System.out.println(" ID: " + matcher.group(6));
return matcher.group(2);
}
System.out.println();
System.out.println();

Using http://www.fileformat.info/tool/regex.htm hometoast's regex works great.
But here is the deal, I want to use different regex patterns in different situations in my program.
For example, I have this URL, and I have an enumeration that lists all supported URLs in my program. Each object in the enumeration has a method getRegexPattern that returns the regex pattern which will then be used to compare with a URL. If the particular regex pattern returns true, then I know that this URL is supported by my program. So, each enumeration has it's own regex depending on where it should look inside the URL.
Hometoast's suggestion is great, but in my case, I think it wouldn't help (unless I copy paste the same regex in all enumerations).
That is why I wanted the answer to give the regex for each situation separately. Although +1 for hometoast. ;)

I know you're claiming language-agnostic on this, but can you tell us what you're using just so we know what regex capabilities you have?
If you have the capabilities for non-capturing matches, you can modify hometoast's expression so that subexpressions that you aren't interested in capturing are set up like this:
(?:SOMESTUFF)
You'd still have to copy and paste (and slightly modify) the Regex into multiple places, but this makes sense--you're not just checking to see if the subexpression exists, but rather if it exists as part of a URL. Using the non-capturing modifier for subexpressions can give you what you need and nothing more, which, if I'm reading you correctly, is what you want.
Just as a small, small note, hometoast's expression doesn't need to put brackets around the 's' for 'https', since he only has one character in there. Quantifiers quantify the one character (or character class or subexpression) directly preceding them. So:
https?
would match 'http' or 'https' just fine.

regexp to get the URL path without the file.
url = 'http://domain/dir1/dir2/somefile'
url.scan(/^(http://[^/]+)((?:/[^/]+)+(?=/))?/?(?:[^/]+)?$/i).to_s
It can be useful for adding a relative path to this url.

The regex to do full parsing is quite horrendous. I've included named backreferences for legibility, and broken each part into separate lines, but it still looks like this:
^(?:(?P<protocol>\w+(?=:\/\/))(?::\/\/))?
(?:(?P<host>(?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^\/?#:]+)(?::(?P<port>[0-9]+))?)\/)?
(?:(?P<path>(?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^?#])+)\/)?
(?P<file>(?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^?#])+)
(?:\?(?P<querystring>(?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^#])+))?
(?:#(?P<fragment>.*))?$
The thing that requires it to be so verbose is that except for the protocol or the port, any of the parts can contain HTML entities, which makes delineation of the fragment quite tricky. So in the last few cases - the host, path, file, querystring, and fragment, we allow either any html entity or any character that isn't a ? or #. The regex for an html entity looks like this:
$htmlentity = "&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);"
When that is extracted (I used a mustache syntax to represent it), it becomes a bit more legible:
^(?:(?P<protocol>(?:ht|f)tps?|\w+(?=:\/\/))(?::\/\/))?
(?:(?P<host>(?:{{htmlentity}}|[^\/?#:])+(?::(?P<port>[0-9]+))?)\/)?
(?:(?P<path>(?:{{htmlentity}}|[^?#])+)\/)?
(?P<file>(?:{{htmlentity}}|[^?#])+)
(?:\?(?P<querystring>(?:{{htmlentity}};|[^#])+))?
(?:#(?P<fragment>.*))?$
In JavaScript, of course, you can't use named backreferences, so the regex becomes
^(?:(\w+(?=:\/\/))(?::\/\/))?(?:((?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^\/?#:]+)(?::([0-9]+))?)\/)?(?:((?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^?#])+)\/)?((?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^?#])+)(?:\?((?:(?:&(?:amp|apos|gt|lt|nbsp|quot|bull|hellip|[lr][ds]quo|[mn]dash|permil|\#[1-9][0-9]{1,3}|[A-Za-z][0-9A-Za-z]+);)|[^#])+))?(?:#(.*))?$
and in each match, the protocol is \1, the host is \2, the port is \3, the path \4, the file \5, the querystring \6, and the fragment \7.

//USING REGEX
/**
* Parse URL to get information
*
* #param url the URL string to parse
* #return parsed the URL parsed or null
*/
var UrlParser = function (url) {
"use strict";
var regx = /^(((([^:\/#\?]+:)?(?:(\/\/)((?:(([^:#\/#\?]+)(?:\:([^:#\/#\?]+))?)#)?(([^:\/#\?\]\[]+|\[[^\/\]##?]+\])(?:\:([0-9]+))?))?)?)?((\/?(?:[^\/\?#]+\/+)*)([^\?#]*)))?(\?[^#]+)?)(#.*)?/,
matches = regx.exec(url),
parser = null;
if (null !== matches) {
parser = {
href : matches[0],
withoutHash : matches[1],
url : matches[2],
origin : matches[3],
protocol : matches[4],
protocolseparator : matches[5],
credhost : matches[6],
cred : matches[7],

};
}
return parser;
};
var parsedURL=UrlParser(url);
console.log(parsedURL);

I tried this regex for parsing url partitions:
^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)(:([^\/]*))?((\/?(?:[^\/\?#]+\/+)*)([^\?#]*))(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?$
URL: https://www.google.com/my/path/sample/asd-dsa/this?key1=value1&key2=value2
Matches:
Group 1. 0-7 https:/
Group 2. 0-5 https
Group 3. 8-22 www.google.com
Group 6. 22-50 /my/path/sample/asd-dsa/this
Group 7. 22-46 /my/path/sample/asd-dsa/
Group 8. 46-50 this
Group 9. 50-74 ?key1=value1&key2=value2
Group 10. 51-74 key1=value1&key2=value2

The best answer suggested here didn't work for me because my URLs also contain a port.
However modifying it to the following regex worked for me:
^((http[s]?|ftp):\/)?\/?([^:\/\s]+)(:\d+)?((\/\w+)*\/)([\w\-\.]+[^#?\s]+)(.*)?(#[\w\-]+)?$

For browser / nodejs environment there is a built in URL class which share the same signature it seems. but check out the respective focus for your case.
https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#urlhost
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL
This is how it may be used though.
let url = new URL('https://test.example.com/cats?name=foofy')
url.protocall; // https:
url.hostname; // test.example.com
url.pathname; // /cats
url.search; // ?name=foofy
let params = url.searchParams
let name = params.get('name');// always string I think so parse accordingly
for more on parameters also see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URL/searchParams

String s = "https://www.thomas-bayer.com/axis2/services/BLZService?wsdl";
String regex = "(^http.?://)(.*?)([/\\?]{1,})(.*)";
System.out.println("1: " + s.replaceAll(regex, "$1"));
System.out.println("2: " + s.replaceAll(regex, "$2"));
System.out.println("3: " + s.replaceAll(regex, "$3"));
System.out.println("4: " + s.replaceAll(regex, "$4"));
Will provide the following output:
1: https://
2: www.thomas-bayer.com
3: /
4: axis2/services/BLZService?wsdl
If you change the URL to
String s = "https://www.thomas-bayer.com?wsdl=qwerwer&ttt=888";
the output will be the following :
1: https://
2: www.thomas-bayer.com
3: ?
4: wsdl=qwerwer&ttt=888
enjoy..
