parsing domain from a long url

Its very simple using a mixture of mid, Instr and Replace.

Well, if all you want to do is grab the domain name you can use the above links to strip it down like so:

Use the Replace function to remove the "http://" and "www." part like so:

strInput = "http://www.google.com.au/?var=34sa&ada=adklfjadfa&adfaadfa=akdfadfa" strTmp = replace(strInput,"http://","") strTmp = replace(strTmp,"https://","") strTmp = replace(strTmp,"www.","")

Then use the Instr Function to find the first "/" next
(being the end of the domain name now we've removed the "http://" part)

intPos = InStr(strTmp,"/")

Then use Mid to strip the end off like so:

strOutput = Mid(strTmp,1,intPos)

Putting it all together you get:

strInput = "http://www.google.com.au/?var=34sa&ada=adklfjadfa&adfaadfa=akdfadfa" strTmp = replace(strInput,"http://","") strTmp = replace(strTmp,"https://","") strTmp = replace(strTmp,"www.","") intPos = InStr(strTmp,"/") strOutput = Mid(strTmp,1,intPos) Response.Write(strOutput)

The links I provided did explain the functions (which is why I provided them), So you should of been able to do this your self.

And if you know PHP then the this page has helped me go from ASP to PHP.
