Clean field containing URL

[gromit6891]

How to effectively clean up a URL field that contains additional characters at the end, e.g "/MyWeb/Pages/favicon.ico -"?
I tried variations on:
.clean_url = parse_regex!("/MyWeb/Pages/favicon.ico -", r'(?P.+?)\s-\s*$)')
But no luck so far.

Hi @gromit6891,

Here is an alternative without regexes:

components = split!(.url, "/")
last_index = length(components) - 1
last = get!(components, [last_index])

i = find!(last, " ")
last = truncate!(last, i)

components = slice!(components, 0, last_index)
components = push(components, last)
.result = join!(components, "/")

If this answers your question, mark this as answered.

I believe you can achieve what you want with a regex as well, maybe with:

.clean_url = parse_regex!(.url_field, r'^(?P<clean_url>[^-\s]+(?:/[^-\s]+)*)\s*')

playground link, but I didn't test if this is generically correct
