Angular pattern Validator is not working as expected - regex

To allow only emails with TLD (ending with .de or .com) I want to use the following pattern:
^[a-z0-9._%+-]+#[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
I tested this regular expression on regexr.com a couple of times and it worked good, for example it did not match with test#test.
But the Angular Validator says no error for test#test with this pattern Validator:
Validators.pattern('^[a-z0-9._%+-]+#[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$')
How is that possible?

You have to escape the backslash, since it's a string.
'^[a-z0-9._%+-]+#[a-z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$'

Regular Expression: if, else if to use in Java

I am trying to write a regular expression in which I want to compare the URL's.
Any URL Matches
http://*.xyz.com
Except or Excluding
http://m.xyz.com and http://m.product.xyz.com
So far I was trying to do it by using if else in RegExp but I couldn't be able to do it right...
(^http:\/\/)(((1)<!(m|m\.product))\.xyz\.co\.jp)?
You can try that:
^http:\/\/(?!m\.xyz\.com|m\.product\.xyz\.com).*\.xyz\.com$
Regex101 Demo
https?:\/\/(?!m\.|m\.product\.).*\.xyz\..*
This regex accepts all *.xyz.* domains except m.xyz.* and m.product.xyz.*. Also takes care of http or https.

Regular Expression for website URL - no HTTP(s)

I'm trying to get a regular expression to work where the following URLs are accepted:
www.somesite.com
somesite.com
www.somesite.ca
somesite.ca
somesite.cu.sk.ca
www.somsite.cu.sk.ca
somesite.sk.ca
www.somesite.sk.ca
I have the following so far but it allows www.somesite
^(www\.)?[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[a-zA-Z]{2}.[a-zA-Z]{2})(.[a-zA-z]{2})?$
Query strings, http, https, ftp are not in play here. Thanks!
You forgot to escape . in the last pattern (.[a-zA-z]{2}) (the dot will match any character):
^(www\.)?[\w-]+\.([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[a-zA-Z]{2}.[a-zA-Z]{2})(\.[a-zA-z]{2})?$

See DEMO
Also, I replaced your [a-zA-Z0-9_\-] with its equivalent [\w-]

Regular expression to match only domain from URL

I'm struggling with forming a regex that would match:
Just domain in case of URL
Whole string in case of no URL
Acceptance test (regex should match bold text):
http://mozart.co.uk
https://avocado.si/hmm
http://www.qwe123qwe.com
Starbucks
Benchmark 123
So far I've come up with this:
([^\/\/]+)(?:,|$)
It works fine, but not for URLs with trailing slash on the end. How can I modify the expression to include full path (everything on the right side of http(s)://) as well? Thank you.
This regex will match them if it starts with http:// or https:// until the next slash. If it doesn't start with http:// nor https:// then it will match the whole string. Close enough?
(?:^https?:\/\/([^\/]+)(?:[\/,]|$)|^(.*)$)
I should note that most languages have functions built in to properly parse URLs and these are preferable.
You should note that I've got 2 sets of capturing parentheses, so depending on your language that may be significant.
Maybe that ^(http[s]?:\/\/)?(.*)$. Play here: https://regex101.com/r/iZ2vL4/1
This will have Matching groups, the domain you want will be in the 4th matching group.
/^((http[s]?|ftp):\/\/)?\/?([^\/\.]+\.)*?([^\/\.]+\.[^:\/\s\.]{1,3}(\.[^:\/\s\.]{1,2})?(:\d+)?)($|\/)([^#?\s]+)?(.*?)?(#[\w\-]+)?$/mg
Regex101.com workbench to check out your URLs just paste them in the "TEST STRING" Textbox to test it out.
Don't recall where I got this... so I don't know who to credit. But it's pretty slick!

MFC: How do I construct a good regular expression that validates URLs?

Here's the regular expression I use, and I parse it using CAtlRegExp of MFC :
(((h|H?)(t|T?)(t|T?)(p|P?)(s|S?))://)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9])
It works fine except with one flaw. When URL is preceded by characters, it still accepts it as a URL.
ex inputs:
this is a link www.google.com (where I can just tokenize the spaces and validate each word)
is...www.google.com (this string still matches the RegEx above :( )
Please help...
Thanks...
Use the IgnoreCase flag instead of catering for each case.
Stick a ^ at the beginning if you want the start of the string to be the start of the URL
You're missing a lot of characters from possible, valid URLs.
You need to tell the regex to only match at the start and end of the string. I'm not sure how you do that in VC++ - in most regexs you enclose the pattern with ^ and $. The ^ says "the start of the string" and the $ says "the end of the string."
^(((h|H?)(t|T?)(t|T?)(p|P?)(s|S?))\://)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9])$
The second is matching because the string still contains a valid URL.
How about using CUrl (that is, 'C-Url', in ATL, not curl as in libcurl) which can 'parse' urls with CUrl::CrackUrl . If that function returns FALSE you assume it's not a valid URL.
That said, decomposing URL is sufficiently complex to warrant a proper parser, not a regex based decomposition. Cfr. rfc 2396 etc. for an overview on the complexities.
Start the regex with ^ to and end it with $ to have the regex match only if the entire sting matches (if that's what you want):
^(((h|H?)(t|T?)(t|T?)(p|P?)(s|S?))\://)?([a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\.]+[a-zA-Z0-9])$
What about this one: (((f|ht)tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9#:%_\+.~#?&//=]+) ?
This Regular Expression has been tested to work for the following
http|https://host[:port]/[?][parameter=value]*
public static final String URL_PATTERN = "(https?|ftp)://(www\\.)?(((([a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.){1,}[a-zA-Z]{2,4}|localhost))|((\\d{1,3}\\.){3}(\\d{1,3})))(:(\\d+))?(/([a-zA-Z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:#/]|%[0-9A-F]{2})*)?(\\?([a-zA-Z0-9-._~!$&'()*+,;=:/?#]|%[0-9A-F]{2})*)?(#([a-zA-Z0-9._-]|%[0-9A-F]{2})*)?";
PS. It also validates on localhost link.
(Thoroughly written by me :-))

Regular Expression for some email rules

I was using a regular expression for email formats which I thought was ok but the customer is complaining that the expression is too strict. So they have come back with the following requirement:
The email must contain an "#" symbol and end with either .xx or .xxx ie.(.nl or .com). They are happy with this to pass validation. I have started the expression to see if the string contains an "#" symbol as below
^(?=.*[#])
this seems to work but how do I add the last requirement (must end with .xx or .xxx)?
A regex simply enforcing your two requirements is:
^.+#.+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}$
However, there are email validation libraries for most languages that will generally work better than a regex.
I always use this for emails
^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)#((\[[0-9]{1,3}" +
#"\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\" +
#".)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$
Try http://www.ultrapico.com/Expresso.htm as well!
It is not possible to validate every E-Mail Adress with RegEx but for your requirements this simple regex works. It is neither complete nor does it in any way check for errors but it exactly meets the specs:
[^#]+#.+\.\w{2,3}$
Explanation:
[^#]+: Match one or more characters that are not #
#: Match the #
.+: Match one or more of any character
\.: Match a .
\w{2,3}: Match 2 or 3 word-characters (a-zA-Z)
$: End of string
Try this :
([\w-\.]+)#((?:[\w]+\.)+)([a-zA-Z]{2,4})\be(\w*)s\b
A good tool to test our regular expression :
http://gskinner.com/RegExr/
You could use
[#].+\.[a-z0-9]{2,3}$
This should work:
^[^#\r\n\s]+[^.#]#[^.#][^#\r\n\s]+\.(\w){2,}$
I tested it against these invalid emails:
#exampleexample#domaincom.com
example#domaincom
exampledomain.com
exampledomain#.com
exampledomain.#com
example.domain#.#com
e.x+a.1m.5e#em.a.i.l.c.o
some-user#internal-email.company.c
some-user#internal-ema#il.company.co
some-user##internal-email.company.co
#test.com
test#asdaf
test#.com
test.#com.co
And these valid emails:
example#domain.com
e.x+a.1m.5e#em.a.i.l.c.om
some-user#internal-email.company.co
edit
This one appears to validate all of the addresses from that wikipedia page, though it probably allows some invalid emails as well. The parenthesis will split it into everything before and after the #:
^([^\r\n]+)#([^\r\n]+\.?\w{2,})$
