Hi,
I think you can just add a check for a ':' character in your code. Alternatively you can also use regular expression to do this kind of string manipulation. I put two exemples below:
1) The expression string tells regexp to match
any number of alphanumerical character: \w+
but only after it finds a :// character: (?<=://)
and only until it finds either a : or a / ?([^:]|/)+
expression = '(?<=://)\w+.?([^:]|/)+';
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org:443/wiki/Kitten?printable=yes&download=no#External_links';
regexp(url,expression,'match')
url = 'http://www.google.com';
regexp(url,expression,'match')
2) Remake your code with simpler form of regexp to isolate the hostname of the url
url2hostname('http://www.google.com')
url2hostname('https://en.wikipedia.org:443/wiki/Kitten?printable=yes&download=no#External_links')
function result = url2hostname(url)
tag = regexp(url,'//+');
if ~isempty(tag)
url = url(tag+2:end);
end
tag = regexp(url,'/','once');
if ~isempty(tag)
url = url(1:regexp(url,'./','once'));
end
tag = regexp(url,'.:','once');
if ~isempty(tag)
url = url(1:tag);
end
result = url;
end
