So write one! Take help of regex writing tools available online (and there are many that you can download).

I do understand that you are new to it. But if you ask people for help rather than trying yourself, you will never learn. As I have already told that there are lot of tools available which will help you write regular expression and validate samples against it. Try them out.
And there is joy to doing something you do not know. Try it and you will know! :)

google.com is valid one IMO. Newbies/normal people don't type protocol/www. before the urls

This URL is getting validated https://www.google, but that should not be.
