Matching all URLs except Soundcloud & Youtube ?

[matmushroom]

Hey guys.

 

I have a string like this:

 

<before>http://www.soundcloud.com/artist/track<after>
<before>www.facebook.com/page<after>
<before>www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567<after>
<before>www.somesite.com/bla<after>

I created this RegEx to find and replace URLs with preg_replace

((https?:\/\/)(www\.)|(https?:\/\/)|(www\.))[^ <]+

...but how I extend that RegEx to match all URLs which are NOT Youtube or Soundcloud URLs.

 

Thanx for helping.

preg_match_all('~<before>(?!.*(?:soundcloud|youtube))((?:https?://)?(?:www\.)?[^<]+)<after>~',$list,$urls);


print_r($urls);

/* output:

        )

Sorry, maybe I've explained it a big wrong. The <before> and <after> should mean that there is some random text.

 

So instead...

<before>http://www.soundcloud.com/artist/track<after>
<before>www.facebook.com/page<after>
<before>www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567<after>
<before>www.somesite.com/bla<after>

...it could also be like this...

Blablabla http://www.soundcloud.com/artist/track
www.facebook.com/page is my page
Try www.youtube.com/watch?v=1234567 for my video
Check http://www.somesite.com/bla.

I would like to automatically insert different wordpress shortcodes inside a user generated post, exchange urls with videos or soundcloud widgets and create regular links from all the other URLs and emails.

 

Thanks for helping guys.
