I'm using jQuery to add icons to specific links, e.g. a myspace icon for sites starting with http://myspace.com etc. However, I can't figure out how to use regular expressions (if that's even possible here), to make jQuery recognize the link either with or without "www."

I'm using Clojure, so this is in the context of Java regexes. Here is an example string: {:a "ab,cd, efg", :b "ab,def, egf,", :c "Conjecture"} The important bits are the commas after each string.
