Thanks Dave. I had to go into a meeting, otherwise I'd have responded already on this. In our case the image file names had parens (i.e. 1234.jpg,1234(2).jpg,1234(3).jpg, etc). I changed the first line to the following and it worked like a champ:
^(((https?:|ftp:|gopher:)\/\/))[-[:alnum:]\?%,\.> \/&##!@:=\+~_\(\)]+[A-Za-z0-9\/]$ Thanks for getting back to me though. Regex is an area I really need to brush up on.
