Parse URL from a gibberish string (Nodejs)

Question

I have been looking for a way to parse URL from a string. My current goal is to parse

https://example.com/foo.png

from a string like

abcxyz https://example.com/foo.png gibberfish text.

Anyone got a solution or a package that can help me to do the job? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

text = "abcxyz https://example.com/foo.png gibberfish text."
console.log(text.split(" ")[1])

.split() splits the string at spaces into an array of words.

Answer 2

I recommend this solution. It turns all words into an array and picks out the ones starting with https://

text.split(" ").filter(i => i.startsWith("https://")).toString();
