I flunked the IQ test so I need some help. I want to match
all domains
in the body that are not in .com,.org.us,.edu,.gov and .mil.
But there's
more. I need to match some characters at the end of the URI that can
often be found there such as >.?)*!"';
The rule would match http://www.go.za and http://www.go.za), but not
match http://www.go.com
Here's my regex that does not work...
m{https?://[^\s/:"')!?>*]+(?<!\.com)(?<!\.net)(?<!\.org)(?<!\.
gov)(?<!\.us)(?<!\.edu)(?<!\.mil)(?:"|'|:|\?|!|>|\*|\)|$)}
It works for all of the characters except for an ending "." such as
http://www.go.com.
I have grappled with this for some time and read the pcrepattern.txt
accompanying Exim source, but damn if I can get it to work.
Anybody want to spit out the answer?
I'm no regex expert, but your ending (?:"|'|:|\?|!|>|\*|\)|$) doesn't
list a ., so it wouldn't catch it.
Maybe
(?:"|'|:|\?|!|>|\*|\)|$|\.)
Would be better?

Thanks, Bret, but I tried that and got matches up to all the "."s in the
uri.
