Parse URL from plain text

How can I parse URLs from any give plain text (not limited to href attributes in tags)?

Any code examples in Python will be appreciated.

See Jan Goyvaerts' blog.

So a Python code example could look like

result = re.findall(r"\b(?:(?:https?|ftp|file)://|www\.|ftp\.)[-A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|$?!:,.]*[A-Z0-9+&@#/%=~_|$]", subject)

You could use a Regular Expression to parse the string.

Look in this previously asked question: What’s the cleanest way to extract URLs from a string using Python?
