I am having a little bit of regex trouble.
I am trying to get the path in this url videoplay
.
http://video.google.co.uk:80/videoplay?docid=-
This expression gets everything after videoplay
, aka the url path.
/\/(videoplay.+)/
This expression gets everything after the port. Also consisting of the path.
/\:\d./(.+)/
However If using Node.js
I recommend the native url
module.
var url = require('url')
var youtubeUrl = "http://video.google.co.uk:80/videoplay?docid=-7246927612831078230&hl=en#hello"
url.parse(youtubeUrl)
Which does all of the regex work for you.
{
protocol: 'http:',
slashes: true,
auth: null,
host: 'video.google.co.uk:80',
port: '80',
hostname: 'video.google.co.uk',
hash: '#hello',
search: '?docid=-7246927612831078230&hl=en',
query: 'docid=-7246927612831078230&hl=en',
pathname: '/videoplay',
path: '/videoplay?docid=-7246927612831078230&hl=en',
href: 'http://video.google.co.uk:80/videoplay?docid=-7246927612831078230&hl=en#hello'
}
