hi all.

To return part of a string that matches another string, use something like this:

"hello world"[/hello/]

Which will return

"hello"

Or, like this:

a = "Hello, World"
a[/hello/i]

(note the "i" means case insensitive, so capitol letters or lower case letters will still be returned)

Hope this helps.

I'm guessing you want to determine the extension of a domain that is in a string?

In that case, something similar to this would work:

a[/\.[a-z]*$/]

This would return whatever is after the last dot in the URL.

That would be:
