How to match without spaces?

[megapearl]

First of all I want to say thanks for your great script.

How to adjust regex to not match [spammydomain .net] but match [spammydomain.net] ? In the dutch language the word 'net' is often used in sentences.

I tried to remove the '?' in "http|. ?(co|pl|link|org|net|mp4|mkv|avi|pdf)([^a-z]|$)" at line 29 of sub-clean.sh but that didn't work out.

|\.( ?(co|pl|link|org|mp4|mkv|avi|pdf)|net)([^a-z]|$)| should do what you're asking.

[keldian]

While I'm at it, for English sub users I'd recommend changing that to |\.( ?(co|pl|org|mp4|mkv|avi|pdf)|(link|net))([^a-z]|$)|. It's rare, but entirely possible for an English sentence to start with "net" or "link" following a period.
