using regex I just want to match strings containing https or http at the beginning and then finishing with \n.

I have tried:

http|https(.*?)\n

but it seems not to work. What should I do?

Many thanks,

James

No need to match individual http and https words. Actually, you can just perform or | on what is the next possible character. Here, I'm assuming you would accept either s as in https or : as in http:. Any other character wouldn't be matched e.g. httpz or http .

http[s:].*\n

Or if the newline shouldn't be matched:

http[s:].*$

You might use non-capturing groups as follows

(?:http|https)(.*?)\n
