Extract URLs from text and HTML page

[Alexisback]

Hi everyone,

question:
Is it possible to extract url from a text and an html page with Total Commander or other tools?
Thanks

You can view the html file with F3, and then copy the URL (or all of them together) via right click.

I did not explain well
in a web page or text that contains code and more I want to extract only the url
starting with the prefix http or https or ftp
everything else does not interest me

Yes, there are tools for that.


Here with TC for example this > "[WCX] RegXtract - String Extractor with RegEx - RegXtract packer plug-in"
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=38638

I, OTOH, would use a text editor or a script. Or both with e.g. EmEditor or PSPad. There a many example about that at that g00gle pages.

I try and see what I can do
even if I do not know the "regular expressions"

Possible yes. See > http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Notepad+%2B%2B+extract+url


Or that > https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22997773/get-list-of-links-from-large-text-file

This work

Thanks

In Notepad++, in the Replace menu (CTRL+H) you can do the following:

Find:

Code: Select all

.*?(http\:\/\/www\.[a-zA-Z0-9\.\/\-]+)

Replace:

Code: Select all

$1\n

Options: check the Regular expression and the . matches newline

This will return you with a list of all your links. There are two issues though:

The regex you provided for matching URLs is far from being generic enough to match any URL. If it is working in your case, that's fine, else check this question.
It will leave the text after the last matched URL intact. You have to delete it manually.

the problem in Notepad ++ and that regular expressions can not be saved
it would take a tool with a database to save the snipptes
does something like this exist?

Just as ghisler(Author) answered you, Lister can do, here are details steps:

1- Put the cursor on the web page file.
2- Press <F3> to open the file with Lister
3- from Options menu select 5 HTML text (strip tags) (usually TC auto detect the file contents and pre-select that option)
4- Right click on a link or white space, select Copy URL or Copy all URLs
5- Go to your text editor and paste
