Url capture

[Dusty]

I need to capture a Url, pass it to a string and then parse it out. Can anyone
help me?

Hello Dusty:

Just call the toString() method on the URL object to get a String representation.
Then you can do whatever you want to the String:
URL url;
try{
url = "http://www.myserver.com"
}catch(MalformedURLException mue){}
String URLString = url.toString();

Hope this helps.

I can't guess what you mean by "capturing" a URL. But once you've got it
into a string, use the java.net.URL class to parse it:

import java.net.URL;

URL u = new URL(the string you captured it into);
String protocol = u.getProtocol();
String host = u.getHost();

etc.
