Hi Ben,

I just stumbled on this yesterday: IDL 6.4 comes with a new function called
Parse_URL. Quoting Online Help:

PARSE_URL returns an anonymous structure containing the disassembled segments of
the URL. The fields in the structure are:

SCHEME
USERNAME
PASSWORD
HOST
PORT
PATH
QUERY

Does that help?

Cheers,
-Dick
