Regular expression everything after a link

I am a complete regular expression idiot, just keep that in mind :)

I am trying to create a regular expression that will match link:xxxxxx where everything after link: is a wildcard.

Can i just do link:* or am I totally misguided?

link:.* should work correctly. . matches any character, and you want to repeat it "0 to unlimited" times so you add *.

If you're new to regex, a good way to learn it is by using regex101.

For your problem, you can check out this regex101 example (Note that I have also added the g modifier, which means that you want to select all matches, not just the first matching line)
