Break up a string into text/http links

I am trying to take a string of text and create an array from it so that the string:

var someText='I am some text and check this out!  http://blah.tld/foo/bar  Oh yeah! look at this too: http://foobar.baz';

insert magical regex here and

the array would look like this:

theArray[0]='I am some text and 开发者_如何学Gocheck this out!  '
theArray[1]='http://blah.tld/foo/bar'
theArray[2]='  Oh yeah! look at this too: '
theArray[3]='http://foobar.baz'

I'm at a loss, any help would greatly be appreciated

Split by URL regex (thanks to @Pullet for pointing out a flaw here):

var urlPattern = /(https?\:\/\/\S+[^\.\s+])/;
someText.split(urlPattern);

Let's break down the regex :)

(https?    -> has "http", and an optional "s"
\:\/\/     -> followed by ://
\S+        -> followed by "contiguous" non-whitespace characters (\S+)
[^\.\s+])  -> *except* the first ".", or a series of whitespace characters (\s+)

Running through your sample text gives,

["I am some text and check this out!  ",
"http://blah.tld/foo/bar",
"  Oh yeah! look at this too: ",
"http://foobar.baz",
""]

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var url_regex = /((?:ftp|http|https):\/\/(?:\w+:{0,1}\w*@)?(?:\S+)(?::[0-9]+)?(?:\/|\/(?:[\w#!:.?+=&%@!\-\/]))?)+/g;
    var input = "I am some text and check this out!  http://blah.tld/foo/bar  Oh yeah! look at this too: http://foobar.baz";

    var results = input.split(url_regex);
    console.log(results);
</script>

results =

["I am some text and check this out! ",
"http://blah.tld/foo/bar",
" Oh yeah! look at this too: ",
"http://foobar.baz", ""]

You could trim the individual results too, to not have leading and trailing whitespace on the non-url entries.
