REGEX for URL's

[AnanaSupport20]

HI Guys,

We are having a few issue with the regex that identifies URL’s in tweets. We had an issue in our application that when a user didnt include http or https it wouldn’t recognise as a link. We tried the below today and though it recognised the link now without http or https when we received a tweet whih started @: our application didnt like it. Are you please able to supply us with ‘regex’ that you use to identify URL’s?

((http|https|ftp)://)?[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(:[a-zA-Z0-9])?/?([a-zA-Z0-9-._?,’/\+&%$#!=~])[^.,)(\s]?
