replace each url with string

[phorcon3]

var text = 'this is the first url http://www.example.com and this is the second url http://www.example2.com';

 

how do i match each of these urls and replace them with the word url?

Use Google to find a regular expression for URLs. Then do like:

 

text.replace(/the regex here/, 'url');

[phorcon3]

how come this script below

 

<script type="text/javascript">
var text = 'url 1 http://www.example.com url 2 http://www.example2.com haha';

var matches = text.match(/http:\/\/[A-Za-z0-9\.-]{3,}\.[A-Za-z]{3}/);

for(var i = 0; i < matches.length; i++)
{
document.write(matches[i]);
}
</script>

 

only outputs: http://www.example.com

Because you're matching (searching), not replacing...

yah, i know, but i wanna extract both urls first and then replace each

 

i just dont get why it only outputs http://www.example.com and not http://www.example.com http://www.example2.com
