Did I mention that the “Web” category might contain code? It might. In fact, it will.

Here’s a random function I wrote last night that might be useful


function getDomain (thestring) {
//simple function that matches the beginning of a URL
//in a string and then returns the domain.
var urlpattern = new RegExp("(http|ftp|https)://(.*?)/.*$");
var parsedurl = thestring.match(urlpattern);
return parsedurl[2];
}


Is there a better way to do that? I don’t know. The momentum of “I’ve got to get this done”, got in the way and left me with the above function.
