Yes, and removing the \\b at the beginning and the other instances of
\\w, as well as the 2 '|' in the character sets seems to work fine on
various examples I tested. I also removed a pair of brackets that
weren't necessary:

"\\(www\\.\\|\\(s?https?\\|ftp\\|file\\|gopher\\|news\\|telnet\\|wais\\|mailto\\):\\)\\(//[-a-zA-Z0-9_.]+:[0-9]*\\)?[-a-zA-Z0-9_=!?#$@~`%&*+\\/:;.,]+[-a-zA-Z0-9_=#$@~`%&*+\\/]"
