Regex to find an URL (containing umlaute) within an HTML A-HREF tag
This regex will find an URL within an HTML A HREF tag. The basic regex we found on regexlib.com but we had to slightly modify it to allow German umlaute as well:
(http|ftp|https):\/\/[\w\-_]+(\.[\w\-_]+)+([\w\-\.,@?^=%&:\/~\+#äöüÄÖÜ]*[\w\-\@?^=%&\/~\+#])?
