Global to chop http:// off URL
Hi,

I'm changing my listings to display the site URL under the description, but I want to remove the http:// part and any trailing slash / so that http://www.qango.com/ becomes www.qango.com

Anyone got a global to achieve this?

Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,

This should work

sub {

my($url)=@_;
$url =~ s/http\:\/\//g;
$url=~ s/\/$//g;

$url;

}

Hi Dat,

Thanks for the sub, however it gives the following error:

Unable to compile 'shorturl': syntax error at (eval 46) line 5, near "s/http\:\/\//g; $url=~ s/\"

Any idea what's wrong?

Cheers,
Shaun

Looks like a slash is missing. Try

$url =~ s/http\:\/\///g;

Hi Shaun,

Please just amend the first line as garrynz's post. That will work.

Cheers guys, works a treat.

I had to modify it slightly to get the URL from the variables list, but does exactly what I want:

sub {
my $vars = shift;
my $url = $vars->{URL};
$url =~ s/http\:\/\///g;
$url=~ s/\/$//g;
return $url;
}

Thanks Smile

Hi,

*little* bit cleaner :)

Code:
sub {
my $vars = shift;
my $url = $vars->{URL};

$url =~ s|\Qhttp://||g;
$url =~ s|\/$||g;

return $url;
}
