How to change the domain of a url Topic is solved

[thegrove]

I want to be able to change the domain part of a URL by capturing what's in the clipboard, changing it and opening the new URL in a new browser tab.

Example:

https www .somedomain.com/files/sheet1.htm
becomes
https www .anotherdomain.co.uk/files/sheet1.htm

I have been looking at some scripts to extract the parts of the URL but cannot work out how to recompile the parts into the new url. Or is there some smart regex way of doing this in one line of code? i.e. append everything after the first single "/" to my new domain?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

from := "www.somedomain.com/files/sheet1.htm"
ChangeTo := "anotherdomain.co.uk"
MsgBox, % RegExReplace(from, "m`a)^(www.+?)(?=\/)", changeto)

Its based on @teadrinker code here https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=62842

This doesn't cover all cases but its a start for you

Perhaps this is right:

Code: Select all

url := "https://www.somedomain.com/files/sheet1.htm"
newDomain := "anotherdomain.co.uk"
MsgBox, % RegExReplace(url, "//(www\.)?\K[^/]+", newDomain)
; or
MsgBox, % RegExReplace(url, "//\K[^/]+", newDomain)

Code: Select all

!c::        ; press ctrl+c
     Send ^c    ; copy path to clipboard
     MsgBox % "chrome.exe " StrReplace(clipboard, "https://www.somedomain.com/","https://www.anotherdomain.co.uk/") ; replace 'MsgBox' with 'Run'
     Return

Thanks for all these suggestions. @teadrinker second suggestion seems the neatest in my use case. I can complete my project now! Thanks.
