in reply to Re: Split Help
in thread Split Help

What I am trying to say is I want to extract www.abcd.com or www.efgh.in from the URLs using Split function.

The URLs i am supposed fetch files from contain single files only. You are right that the .ppt and .doc will come from the content type of the page.

What I want is if a '/' or A '#' is encountered wherever in the URL, the part before it should be taken as the filename. i.e

if

www.abcd.com?file/search is URL then www.abcd.com?file should be the file name.

and if

www.abcd.com/search is URL then www.abcd.com should be the file name. Same is the Case with '#'

I want to split the URL at the first '/' or first '#' and use it.

BTW Thank you for ur Reply

    I want to split the URL at the first '/' or first '#' and use it.

    Then maybe just try 

    for my $url ("www.abcd.com?file/search",
             "www.abcd.com/search",
             "www.efgh.in#found") {

    my ($fname) = split /[\/#]/, $url;
    
    print $fname;
}

__END__
www.abcd.com?file
www.abcd.com
www.efgh.in

    split takes a regular expression by which to split the string, and [\/#] is a character class comprising the two characters '/' and '#', which means to split on either of those characters.  The parentheses around $fname in the assignment are needed to supply list context for split.
