I'm a bit stucked with this regex problem, I need to check if url has at start mongodb:// and at the end of a string - port with numbers :27017 and also if there is no slash / .

For example:

/myRegexForThis/.test('mongodb://testUrl:port') => true
/myRegexForThis/.test('mongodb://testUrl:port/') => false
/myRegexForThis/.test('mongo://testUrl') => false
/myRegexForThis/.test('mongodb://testUrl:port') => false

currently I have only start part: ^(mongodb:\/\/)

There shouldn't be any slash in "testUrl" ? Also do you want to check if the URL is valid ? – HamZa Jun 02 '13 at 11:54
url can be like ``user:[email protected]`` but as well as simple ``localhost`` – Kosmetika Jun 02 '13 at 11:57

So you do want to validate if the URL is valid ? Since if you don't want to you could simply use `^mongodb:\/\/.*?:\d+$`. – HamZa Jun 02 '13 at 11:58
yeah, i think there's no need to check, maybe only if it's not containing cyrrilic letters – Kosmetika Jun 02 '13 at 11:59
Does the "testUrl" string start with http(s) ? or is it just an IP/domain ? – HamZa Jun 02 '13 at 12:03
@HamZa url can be like user:[email protected] but as well as simple localhost, no https – Kosmetika Jun 02 '13 at 12:04

Unfortunately a mongodb resource URI can be a lot more complex than that – Sammaye Jun 02 '13 at 12:15

Example line 1 and 4, exactly the same, but different result? – Qtax Jun 02 '13 at 13:28
