i have a global shortcut 'win r' to run selected text anywhere.
what would be the best way to check if selection is an url ?

maybe i don't have to perform some regex when web or
something similar also checks if a string is valid as url.

i found this:

Regex theRegexURL = new Regex("(([a-zA-Z][0-9a-zA-Z+\\-\\.]*?/{0,2}[0-9a-zA-Z;/?&=+$\\.\\-_!~*'()%]+)?(#[0-9a-zA-Z;/?&=+$\\.\\-_!~*'()%]+)?");

If (theRegexURL.IsMatch(theUrlInput))

{

//url matches

}

else

{

//url does not match

}

Try PathIsURL or some other function from shlwapi.dll.
