trying to get this youtube regex to work with /v/videoid as well as regular youtube links.

(http:\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com)?(\/)?(watch\?)?(v=)?([a-zA-Z0-9]{11})

here is the current regex suggested by borked.

You're regex seem ok, but I don't understand "to work with /v/videoid"

I don't understand what you're trying to do. Just get the video ID? Assuming it's PHP:

Code:

if (preg_match("/\?([\w\d]+)/", $url, $match)) { 
    $video_id = $match[1];
} else { echo "No Video ID"; }

You don't need that combumbulated mess of a regex.

all this (http:\/\/)?(www\.)?(youtube\.com)?(\/)?(watch\?)?(v=)? is useless, because you've made it optional using the "?"

u-Bob · 12-28-2010, 07:51 AM

do you need all those parts or only the video id?

u-Bob · 12-28-2010, 07:56 AM

/http:\/\/?(www\.)youtube\.com\/(watch\?v=)|(\/v\/)?([a-zA-Z0-9]{11})/

can clean it up a lot if you want
