I want to combine
[/^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-]{1,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}$/ from How to validate domain name using regex? (this works only for single words not text)]
and
[/(\b(((https?|ftp|file):\/\/)|(ww.\.))[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig from Detect URLs in text with JavaScript (this works for text)]
into a single regex.

How can this be achieved?

    @noob - I have already referenced the link in my original question – Yaan Mar 20 '16 at 00:46
  • How do you want the answer to differ from the second regexp you mentioned? – LarsH Mar 20 '16 at 02:13
  • @LarsH The second regex does not match `lkmo.co.pl` (or `google.com`), it does match `http://lkmo.co.pl` (or `https://google.com`). Would like to add this aspect to the second regex – Yaan Mar 20 '16 at 02:40
  • So, by "combine" you mean that you want a regex that matches everything that the first one matches, as well as everything that the second one matches? Then you want `(A)|(B)`, where A and B are the two regexes. Alternatively, you could put `?` before the first `[` in the second regex: `/(\b(((https?|ftp|file):\/\/)|(ww.\.))?[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig` – LarsH Mar 20 '16 at 02:44
  • @LarsH - thanks for the comment, it worked :) – Yaan Mar 20 '16 at 07:01
