How to select direct link from google url using regular expressions?

Question

Java

Required from links like
https://www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa=t&url=http://t...
Get links like:
tower43.ru/b0013232
Using the service , I wrote a regular expression

String pattern = "(\\S)(https?:[\\S]*)(&ct=ga&cd=)";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(pattern);
Matcher m = p.matcher(url);

When I try to extract the second group, I get an IllegalStateException
On the site, groups are recognized normally (although \1 doesn't work for some reason)

Perhaps I have the wrong approach from the beginning? Thanks
