Subject: string question
I am receiveing these long website addresses and I want to shorten them
after a certain symbol like a question mark or a word like "/action". Is
there an easy way to do that?
EX:
http://www.website.net/action.lasso?-database=Links_Engine
TO:
http://www.website.net/action.lasso
OR EVEN
http://www.website.net
