Hello.
Let's say I have thesel urls:
Code: Select all
https://www.test.com/
http://test.co.uk/jpg.png
https://pbs.test.gr/xxx/xxx.jpg
How do I add a space between the subdomain ( test in this case) and the . that follows it, so that they look like this:
Code: Select all
https://www.test .com/
http://test .co.uk/jpg.png
https://pbs.test .gr/xxx/xxx.jpg
I am trying to do it with StrReplace but with no results. I think I need to use RegexMatch but I dont know how to do it.

But this only works if you already know the subdomain. Maybe I wasnt clear, but the subdomain is supposed to be random from random urls.

Hi
Code: Select all
urls =
(
https://www.test.com/
http://test.co.uk/jpg.png
https://pbs.test.gr/xxx/xxx.jpg
)
MsgBox, % RegExReplace(urls, "m`a)^https?://(?:www.)?\K(.+?)(?=\.\w+/)", "$1 ")

Easier:
Code: Select all
RegExReplace(urls, "m`a)^(https?://.+?)(?=\.\w+/)", "$1 ")

thanx, but I just noticed something which eluded me the first time. The space is not added correctly to the first dot after the subdomain name, if the domain has two dots.
for example, these urls:
Code: Select all
http://www.test.co.uk/jpg.png
http://test.co.uk/jpg.png
give:
Code: Select all
http://www.test.co .uk/jpg.png
http://test.co .uk/jpg.png
where it should be:
Code: Select all
http://www.test .co.uk/jpg.png
http://test .co.uk/jpg.png
This happens with both instaces of your code.

Only one of your above examples has what I would think of as a subdomain,
https://pbs.test.gr/xxx/xxx.jpg. It looks more like you're trying to split the second/top level domains from the domain name?

How the script can know what the variant is true? Why not like this:
https://pbs .test.gr/xxx/xxx.jpg ?

you are right. and i think turning all the dots between // and the first / will suffice for my situation.
Let me explain the problem. Some Disqus forums dont allow urls in your posts. Otherwise they will auto-delete them. But sometimes I need to add urls for reference during my conversations. After some testing, the best way to circumvent this, is to add spaces in the domain/subdomain part of the url. I want to do this automatically with AHK, by turning this:
into this
I tried to use StrReplace, but it adds spaces to all the dots in the url. That's why I thought that RegExReplace must be a better solution and I came here for help, since regex is a nightmare for me to handle.

If you need to change only one url:
Code: Select all
url = https://a.test.b.c/x/zzz.jpg
MsgBox, % RegExReplace(url, "\.(?!\w+$)|(?<=//).", " $0")
; or
MsgBox, % RegExReplace(url, "[^/:](?=/)(*COMMIT)(*FAIL)|(\.|(?<=//).)", " $1")
If all together at once, I did not find one-string solution.
Code: Select all
urls =
(
https://www.test.com/
http://test.co.uk/jpg.png
https://pbs.test.gr/xxx/xxx.jpg
)
Loop, parse, urls, `n, `r
newUrls .= RegExReplace(A_LoopField, "[^/:](?=/)(*COMMIT)(*FAIL)|(\.|(?<=//).)", " $1") . "`r`n"
MsgBox, % RTrim(newUrls, "`n`r")

hey, here's my 2 cents. kinda
since question is already answered
Code: Select all
urls =
(
https www.test.com / Broken Link for safety
http test.co.uk /jpg.png Broken Link for safety
https pbs.test.gr /xxx/xxx.jpg Broken Link for safety
)
msgbox % regexreplace(urls, "m`a)(https?://(www\.|pbs\.)?.*?)\.","$1 .")
or if you encounter other than www/pbs (has to be 3 letters but won't work if the domain name is also 3 letters):
Code: Select all
regexreplace(urls, "m`a)(https?://(\w{3}\.)?.*?)\.","$1 .")
