How to remove "http: //" from string in actionscript?

This may sound basic, but I don't know how to do it - anyone else?

I have a line that looks like this:

private var url:String = "http://subdomain";

What I need so that I can do this:

url.replace(regex,"");

and complete it?

trace(url); // subdomain

Or is there an even better way to do this?

Try the following:



url.replace("http:\/\/","");

As belveer said. :)

This will only match at the beginning of the line and will also catch https:



url.replace("^https?:\/\/","");

ActionScript does support much richer regex reuse than completed by bewdwyr. You just need to use the actual Regexp, not the string, as the replacement parameter. :-)

var url:String;
url = "https://foo.bar.bz/asd/asdasd?asdasd.fd";
url = url.replace(/^https?:\/\//, "");

To make it perhaps even clearer

var url:String;
var pattern:RegExp = /^https?:\/\//;
url = "https://foo.bar.bz/asd/asdasd?asdasd.fd";
url = url.replace(pattern, "");

RegExp is a first class ActionScript type.

Note that you can also use $ char to end the string and use () to capture substrings for later reuse. There is a lot of power here!
