tagnu 08-26-2008, 01:18 PM Hi all,
One more regex help.
I'd like to retrieve the original url of sites from yahoo search results.
For. e.g:
1. www.example.com
2. subdomain.example1.com (subdomain)
If I go for this expression:
http://*[^/]*
I'll get all the http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/ from both links.
But how to retrieve the highlighted sites.
http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A8pWBj2w5bNIa84A54S7HAx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEwZTl2dThqBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNwRjb2xvA2luMl9pbnRsBHZ0aWQD/
SIG=11kp4e70q/EXP=1219835696/**http%3A//www.example.com/index.html
http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A8pWBj2w5bNIa84A5YS7HAx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEwaXAxMWJuBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNQRjb2xvA2luMl9pbnRsBHZ0aWQD/
SIG=11r0pjgq9/EXP=1219835696/**http%3A//subdomain.example1.com/index.html
Thank you
Philip M 08-26-2008, 01:57 PM This should move you forward:-
<script type = "text/javascript">
var a = "http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A8pWBj2w5bNIa84A54S7HAx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEwZTl2dThqBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNwRjb2xvA2luMl9pbnRsBHZ0aWQD/" + "SIG=11kp4e70q/EXP=1219835696/**http%3A//www.example.com/index.html"
var b = "http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A8pWBj2w5bNIa84A5YS7HAx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEwaXAxMWJuBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNQRjb2xvA2luMl9pbnRsBHZ0aWQD/" + "SIG=11r0pjgq9/EXP=1219835696/**http%3A//subdomain.example1.com/index.html"
var x = a.match(/(http%3A.+)/);
x[0] = x[0].replace (/\%3A/,":")
alert (x[0]);
var y = b.match(/(http%3A.+)/);
y[0] = y[0].replace (/\%3A/,":")
alert (y[0]);
</script>
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead.

tagnu 08-29-2008, 01:13 PM Thank you Philip, the code works fine.
But in my case, I get 'http://example.com' in certain cases apart from 'http%3A//example.com'.
I was really looking for an expression that would accommodate both cases.

Cranford, thank you for the effort, your snippet suits my need and I'm currently moving with it. But I'm really curious if there's a regex.
Adding 'http://' to nDomain; will make it easier to apply this as an attribute for any html element.
Failing to add 'http://', will add the current domain as prefix to the returned variable nDomain. In this case, you'll get the output as
'http://uk.wrs.yahoo.com/example.com'
function getDomain(urlStr){
var nDomain = urlStr.substring(urlStr.lastIndexOf('//')+2,urlStr.lastIndexOf('/'));
return 'http://' + nDomain;
}
ps: Learning regex using expresso (http://www.ultrapico.com/ExpressoDownload.htm), I'll update this post as soon I find a good regex.

a = a.replace(/\%3A/,":");
var x = a.match(/[^\b](http.+)/);
x[0] = x[0].replace (/./,"");
alert (x[0]);
b = b.replace(/\%3A/,":");
var y = b.match(/[^\b](http.+)/);
y[0] = y[0].replace (/./,"");
alert (y[0]);
</script>
Taking the liberty of modifying Cranford's solution:-
function getDomain(urlStr){
var nDomain = urlStr.substring(urlStr.lastIndexOf('**')+2,urlStr.lastIndexOf('/'));
return nDomain;
}

tagnu 08-30-2008, 04:19 PM Thank you!
Got the regex http(.){1,3}\/\/[^\/]*/g
Description:
http followed by
(.){1,4} any characters, min 1 or max 4 (to retrieve : and %3A and also to include https),
\/\/ and // (escaped so \/\/)
[^\/]* any character except / (escaped so \/)
/g return all occurrences of the match
var urlStr = "http://in.wrs.yahoo.com/_ylt=A8pWBj2w5bNIa84A54S7HAx.;_ylu=X3oDMTEwZTl2dThqBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNwRjb2xvA2luMl9pbnRsBHZ0aWQD/SIG=11kp4e70q/EXP=1219835696/**http%3A//www.thesdf.org/index.html"
var res = urlStr.match(/http(.){1,3}\/\/[^\/]*/g);
document.write("count:"+ res.length + "<br />");
for(i=0;i<res.length;i++)
document.write(res[i]+ "<br/>");
ps: don't forget the /g
With g flag returns an array containing the matches, without g flag returns just the first match or if no match is found returns null.
I'm learning!

\/\/ and // (escaped so \/\/)
[^\/]* any character except / (escaped so \/)
/g return all occurances
To be picky, that does not work for https://
So make it http(.){1,4}\/\/[^\/]*/g
tagnu 08-30-2008, 07:20 PM To be picky, that does not work for https://

That's true! thanks for pointing out.
So a better regex is
http(.){1,4}\/\/[^\/]*/g
Updated the previous post too.
