This will take a URL and break it down to the different parts.
Code: Select all
function URLComponents pURL
local tSchema, tAuthority, tPath, tQuery, tFragment, tTemp
get matchText(pURL, "^(([^:\/?#]+):)?(\/?\/?([^\/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?$", tTemp, tSchema, tTemp, tAuthority, tPath, tTemp, tQuery, tTemp, tFragment)
local tUserInfo, tHost, tPort
get matchText(tAuthority, "(?:((?:[A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&\'()*+,;=:]|%[0-9A-Fa-f]{2})*)@)?((?:[A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&\'()*+,;=]|%[0-9A-Fa-f]{2})+)(?::([0-9]*))?", \
tUserInfo, tHost, tPort)
local tResults
put tSchema into tResults["Schema"]
put tUserInfo into tResults["UserInfo"]
put tHost into tResults["Host"]
put tPort into tResults["Port"]
put tPath into tResults["Path"]
put tQuery into tResults["Query"]
put tFragment into tResults["Fragment"]
return tResults
end URLComponents

Hi Emily-Elizabeth,
welcome to the forum!
Thank you, and to what do we owe this honor?
Best
Klaus
P.S.
Personal note:
A little "Hello" or something would not have hurt for the very first posting.

Nice! That's some serious regex.
And I learned something new... I wasn't aware that you could reuse tTemp like that for the don't-care variables.

The tUserInfo wasn't being split in to the two components: username and password. This is a version to correct that
Code: Select all
function URLComponents pURL
local tSchema, tAuthority, tPath, tQuery, tFragment, tTemp
get matchText(pURL, "^(([^:\/?#]+):)?(\/?\/?([^\/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?$", tTemp, tSchema, tTemp, tAuthority, tPath, tTemp, tQuery, tTemp, tFragment)
local tUserInfo, tHost, tPort
get matchText(tAuthority, "(?:((?:[A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&\'()*+,;=:]|%[0-9A-Fa-f]{2})*)@)?((?:[A-Za-z0-9\-._~!$&\'()*+,;=]|%[0-9A-Fa-f]{2})+)(?::([0-9]*))?", \
tUserInfo, tHost, tPort)
split tUserInfo by ":"
local tResults
put tSchema into tResults["Schema"]
put tUserInfo[1] into tResults["UserName"]
put tUserInfo[2] into tResults["UserPassword"]
put tHost into tResults["Host"]
put tPort into tResults["Port"]
put tPath into tResults["Path"]
put tQuery into tResults["Query"]
put tFragment into tResults["Fragment"]
return tResults
end URLComponents

For those of us who like to use objects, I made this in to a library that returns instances of the button control. This allows you to create an instance and pass it through multiple handlers/functions without having to call the RegEx multiple times or having to pass multiple parameters.
