Question

I am trying to simplify a baseURL string with action script 2.

But I am having trouble as my base URL could have to possible begginings.

What I have so far.. Thanks to @Will Kru

.split("http://").join("").split("/")[0];

So if my baseURL is this… http://www.actionscript.com/category/splitting

Then the above code would return… http://www.actionscript.com

My next problem is, the baseURL could be in SSL mode. So the beggining of the string would be https://

So my question is – is there anyway to split the baseURL from the first :// and remove what ever appears before the :// – wether it is http or https

Many Thanks

You can use this.

.split("://")[1].split("/")[0]
