Does anybody know how to return the following string using regex?

Input $var="http://www.mysite.com/toplevel/file.html

Output return "/toplevel/file.html"

I.e. basically how to strip out the absolute path part?

Try;

my $relative;
$var =~ m/^http:\/\/(.+?)\/(.+?)/i and $relative = $2;

That should assign the bit after the first extention to $relative. Untested, but it looks like it should work.

EDIT BY Andy

regex:

my $relative;
$var =~ m/^http:\/\/(.+?)\/(.+?)/i and $relative = $2;


OUTPUT:

http://eurogirls.net/cgi-bin/V

Had to edit out the URL, sorry.

Which global is this with? Wanna PM/email me with details, and I'll have a look for you.

Not sure if this has been resolved yet but this regexp will do what you want:

m|^http://.*?(/.*)$|

It basicaly captures everything from the 3rd slash to the end of the URL. This has the benefit of capturing paths which are deeper than one subfolder.

You can add modifiers at the end as needed.

Hope this helps.
