Having searched this group, plus the wiki, plus the mail archives I am
still a little confused as to the syntax format for stripping text
from a url.  Apologies if there is a thread covering this already but
I am now getting frustrated with this as it seems such a simple task
but I can't get my head round it.


I have a check in a test to ensure that the url reached is correct but
there is a variable at the end of the url that I don't need.  How do I
get rid of this?

My url is of the format http://www.blah.com/uk/home.asp?variable

So far I have discovered that the following will possibly help;
new_url = ie.url[/(.*)\//] although this strips everything after
"uk/".  I just need to strip out "?variable".

My question is really; What does this mean? [/(.*)\//]

Cheers...Ash
