I have a list of URLs

[Lee Smith]

Hello group,

I’m having trouble setting up a grep pattern for extracting the site names from a list of URLs.

I would appreciate any help.

Examples

http://databasepros.com/list.php?skip=0&search=%20calendar

http://filemakerdonations.com/

http://filemakerhacks.com/2010/12/13/exporting-data-to-ical-outlook-google-calendar-etc/

http://filemakerhacks.com/2010/12/21/getfieldname-new-in-10-improved-in-11/

http://filemakerinventoryresources.com/Download_BOM-Tree-Basic.html

http://filemakerinventoryresources.com/Download_Item-Substitute.html

http://filemakerinventoryresources.com/Download_Item-Substitutes.html

http://filemakerinventoryresources.com/Download_poProcess_v2.html

http://filemakerinventoryresources.com/Download_poProcess.html

Results

databasepros.com

filemakerdonations.com

filemakerhacks.com

filemakerinventoryresources.com

Thanks in advance for your help

Don't forget that this list will be closed soon. You have to move to the BBEdit list.

If there is anything you do not understand in the regular expression part of the manual, you should ask. Once you know the basics (which is pretty much what I used) you'll be able to do a huge lot yourself.
