Extract hostname name from string

Question

I would like to match just the root of a URL and not the whole URL from a text string. Given:

http://www.youtube.co         


        

Answer 1

in short way you can do like this

var url = "http://www.someurl.com/support/feature"

function getDomain(url){
  domain=url.split("//")[1];
  return domain.split("/")[0];
}
eg:
  getDomain("http://www.example.com/page/1")

  output:
   "www.example.com"

Use above function to get domain name
