Regex modify capturing group

Question

I have this Regex

^(?!.*\b(?:https?:\/\/|www\.))\w+(?:\.\w+)*\.\w{2,}(?:,\w+(?:\.\w+)*\.\w{2,})+$

that captures multiple URL separated by commas caputres google.com,facebook.com but not with extra characters like google.com/home.php?,facebook.com/pages/#ref=?

Assuming your URLs won't contain a comma, you can add another optional non-capturing group in your regex like this:

^(?!.*\b(?:https?:\/\/|www\.))\w+(?:\.\w+)*\.\w{2,}(?:\/[^,]*)?(?:,\w+(?:\.\w+)*\.\w{2,}(?:\/[^,]*)?)*$

RegEx Demo

Note addition of an optional non-capturing group in regex:

(?:\/[^,]*)?: That matches text starting with / followed by 0 or more of any character except a comma. ? makes this group optional
