I need help with making a script that replace the 4th slash and the characters after it

Example:

http://google.com/happy/bd.html

to

http://google.com/happybirthday.html

Thanks!

$in = "http://google.com/happy/bd.html"

$n = StringInStr($in,"/", 0, -1)
$mid = StringLeft($in, $n-1)

$out = $mid & "birthday.html"

ConsoleWrite($out & @CRLF)

Being able to do simple string operators is vital in your job as a programmer. I see you're probably a system admin, or something, but this is basic knowledge.

Thank you for your help. I understand AI a little bit better now. However, would you kindly help me with one more? I need the script to be able to open a text file name I provide.. Then, find the 1st slash from the right and whatever characters are on the right in each line of URLS and replace them with the string I provide (exactly from the last example but with multiple URLS).. Then replace a second string in the front from "http://" to "http://www." Finally, save the file with the output as the original file. I've tried it but I don't know how to replace multiple URLS, just one. Please help. Thank you!

What have you tried? Please post your failed script so the people on the forum can help you fix your script. You won't learn anything by having it done for you (and probably no one would do it for you).

You need to look up StringInStr(), StringRight(), StringLeft(), StringMid(), and StringReplace() for a start on your parsing. For the file, try FileOpen(), FileRead(), FileReadLine(), FileWrite(), and FileClose().
