How to remove this url from string?
java, regex
Solution
This will remove urls:
description = description.replaceAll("https?://\\S+\\s?", "");
Btw the little `\\s?` at the end ensures you don't get double spaces after the URL has been removed from between two spaces.
Problem
I have the following string: ``` String description= errex for Screen Share https://ednovo.webex.com/ednovo/j.php?ED=224466857&UID=1465621292&RT=MiM0 You can find the meeting notes here https://docs.yahoo.com/a/filter.org/document/d/1Luf_6Q73_Lm30t3x6wHS_4Ztkn7HfXDg4sZZWz-CuVw/edit?usp=sharing ``` I want to remove the url link and end up with this: ``` String description=errex for Screen Share You can find the meeting notes here ``` I tried the following code but it is not detecting the URL: ``` private String removeUrl(String commentstr) { String commentstr1=commentstr; String urlPattern = "((https?|ftp|gopher|telnet|file|Unsure|http):((//)|(\\\\))+[\\w\\d:#@%/;$()~_?\\+-=\\\\\\.&]*)"; Pattern p = Pattern.compile(urlPattern,Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE); Matcher m = p.matcher(commentstr1); int i=0; while (m.find()) { commentstr1=commentstr1.replaceAll(m.group(i),"").trim(); i++; } System.out.println("After url filter" +commentstr1); return commentstr1; } ``` What is wrong here?
