Its very simple using a mixture of http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_mid.asp" rel="nofollow - mid , http://www.w3schools.com/vbscript/func_instr.asp" rel="nofollow - Instr and http://www.w3schools.com/Vbscript/func_replace.asp" rel="nofollow - Replace .

Actually i don't know the usage of those which you mentioned. If you can code it here, if its really simple and does not take alot of time for you. I will be thanksful to you. its not for something commercial. I need it for my personal project, and i am just failing to do that. And even in php to asp converter, it is not converting properly. :(

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 http://www.design215.com/toolbox/asp.php" rel="nofollow - this page has helped me go from ASP to PHP.
