I would like to match just the root of a URL and not the whole URL from a text string. Given:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClkQA2Lb_iE
http://youtu.be/ClkQA2Lb_iE
http://www.example.com/12xy45
http://example.com/random
I want to get the 2 last instances resolving to the www.example.com or example.com domain.
I heard regex is slow and this would be my second regex expression on the page so If there is anyway to do it without regex let me know.
I'm seeking a JS/jQuery version of this solution.
