Hi,

Is there a cool trick I can use to limit URL so it will only accept toplevel domains.. whatever.com, whatever.xx, www.whatever.com, www.whatever.xx, etc.. no subdirectories or pages..

also, i'm looking for a trick to remove the URL's in the database that already got in there with subdirs and subpages

Regards Dane

You could enter the URL regex to something like;

^http:\/\/(www\.)?[a-zA-Z90-9_]\.[a-zA-Z0-9\.]{2,6}

This won't definatly work (my regex is far from good). Maybe Paul, or someone from GT could give you a more effecient method.

Cheers

To restrict sub-directories try:


That will allow http:// then anything without slashes and then an optional trailing slash, so it will match:

http://foo.com
http://www.foo.com
http://subdomain.foo.com
htp://www.foo.com/

...but will reject...

http://www.foo.com/directory

Thanks a lot for that guys, just what I needed
