Regex to find URL works on Regex101.com but not in C# code
-2
I have this regex pattern to match website:
^(http://www.|https://www.|http://|https://)?[a-z0-9]+([-.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*.[a-z]{2,5}(:[0-9]{1,5})?(/.*)?$
If I test it (http://www.regex101.com) with the following values:
http://www.google.com
google.com
somesite.com
I get a match on all three values.
But this code doesn't work in C# (no matches):
var websiteRegex = new Regex(@"^(http://www.|https://www.|http://|https://)?[a-z0-9]+([-.]{1}[a-z0-9]+)*.[a-z]{2,5}(:[0-9]{1,5})?(/.*)?$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
var stripped = stripped = phoneRegex
.Replace("http://www.google.com www.google.com somesite.com", string.Empty);
c# regex

The thing is your pattern matches the whole string that is a URL. If you tested against"http://www.google.comnwww.google.comnsomesite.com", why do you think it will work the same against"http://www.google.com www.google.com somesite.com"?

The reason is simple: regex101.com automatically apply the 'MultiLine' option, which is necessary in your case.
Your code should be:
var websiteRegex = new Regex(WEBSITE_PATTERN, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.MultiLine);
