Find All URLs on Page Using jQuery

I need to find all the URLs on the page using jQuery.

They will be static URLS, by that I mean not within anchor tags.

From stackoverflow

• How about taking all the content of the document and parse it using a regexp?

  To know if a string is a url:

  function isUrl(s) {
  var regexp = /(ftp|http|https):\/\/(\w+:{0,1}\w*@)?(\S+)(:[0-9]+)?(\/|\/([\w#!:.?+=&%@!\-\/]))?/
  return regexp.test(s); }

  Ben Shelock : Seems like a good idea, how would I do it?

• If you want to find all of the literal text URLs - e.g. ones that are not part of an <a>, this should work:

  var regex = /https?://([-\w\.]+)+(:\d+)?(/([\w/_\.]*(\?\S+)?)?)?/ig;
  var matches = regex.exec($('body').text());
  

  marcgg : Agreed, this is what I was saying but with actual code :)

  J-P : You need to escape all your backslashes... Alternatively, use a literal regex.

  J-P : Also, you need a global flag.
