What do you want your code to do?

[iceman400]

what im trying to do is extract bits of url from strings of javascript & html. sometimes the only available bits are the page name (pagename.php) and sometimes the whole address (http://......php).the specific bit of code i posted is supposed to sift out any types of symbols that are not part of a web address (such as "*") and return the result. 2 c whether or not the returned string is a web address, i try to fopen() it. if it works, i save the address, if not, i move on to the next bit of string.
