hello, i hope someone can help me with this perl coding (cgi). i am not
good with regexp etc, not even sure if that is the best solution to my
problem. ideas/advice most most appreciated!
basically i want to know how i can take a string that is formatted like a
link and find out:
1. the domain name
2. all the words in the string (non-symbols, and non-numbers, only
characters) which are NOT from an exclusion list.
let me explain. sorry if the following wraps:
my $string = "http://www.cnn.com/2002/fbi.exec.binladen/index.html";
my $exclusion_list = "index|html|www|http|https|com|net|org";
so, all i want is
1. name of domain, but this could be without www -- "cnn.com", or could
be something like "robots.cnn.com"
cnn
2. words in the string that are not in the exclusion list
fbi, binladen, exec
please help!
thanks/erick
