regex strip domain name

Question

A quick simple regex question

I have a domain name in a string that I need to strip - There is always http://www. and the domain always ends in "/"

g_adv_fullpath_old = g_adv_fullpath_old.replace(/http\:\/\/www\.(.*?)\//ig, '');

how do I create the regex to strip the domain name?

Any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

I would simply split on "/". For example:

>>> "http://www.asdf.com/a/b/c".split("/").slice(3).join("/")
'a/b/c'

Answer 2

Why complications? Simple indexOf will do.
First remove http://www (10 characters), then everything before the first slash.

var s = "http://www.google.com/test";
s = s.substr(10);
s = s.substr(s.indexOf('/'));
alert(s);

Or split, as David suggests.
