Domain parser

[Steven Thompson]

Looking for script to parse Domain Name (content between "//" and "/" of full URL).

Ideal would be to add script to existing script (pastes full URL). Parsed content to be pasted info field "Domain."

I'm a new member. Already searched the forum for "domain parser" and came up empty (surprisingly). Resources found through Yahoo search didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

This would be a job for a calculation, not a script. You can use such calculation in a script, for example to do:

Set Field [ YourTable::Domain ; «the calculation» ]

Now, the calculation itself could be simply:

Let ( [
start = Position ( URL ; "/" ; 1 ; 2 ) ; 
end = Position ( URL ; "/" ; 1 ; 3 ) 
] ; 
Middle ( URL ; start + 1 ; end - start - 1 )
)

or even:

GetValue ( Substitute ( URL ; "/" ; ¶ ) ; 3 )

P.S. Strictly speaking, the substring between "//" and the next "/" is called the authority, and it includes the domain and optionally the port - see:

Ah, being a calc vs script would explain my frustration!

Thanks also for the technical definitions about URLs.
