How to remove any URL within a string in Python

Question

I want to remove all URLs inside a string (replace them with "")
I searched around but couldn't really find what I want.

Example:

text1

text2

http://url.com/bla1/blah1/

text3

text4

http://url.com/bla2/blah2/

text5

text6

http://url.com/bla3/blah3/

I want the result to be:

text1

text2

text3

text4

text5

text6

Answer 1

Python script:

import re
text = re.sub(r'^https?:\/\/.*[\r\n]*', '', text, flags=re.MULTILINE)

Output:

text1
text2
text3
text4
text5
text6
