Extracting a URL in Python
parsing, python, url
Solution
In response to the OP's edit I hijacked Find Hyperlinks in Text using Python (twitter related) and came up with this:
import re
myString = "This is my tweet check it out http://example.com/blah"
print(re.search("(?P<url>https?://[^\s]+)", myString).group("url"))
Problem
In regards to: Find Hyperlinks in Text using Python (twitter related) How can I extract just the url so I can put it into a list/array? Edit Let me clarify, I don't want to parse the URL into pieces. I want to extract the URL from the text of the string to put it into an array. Thanks!
