For a different take, here's the old school version I get to parse URL items into an array:
// WebRequest_ParseURLItems // Strip parameters off URL and parse the remainder into items. // 4D automatically URL decodes the incoming data before it arrives. // Otherwise, this routine would need to convert special characters // encoded as hex in the incoming URL. C_TEXT($1;$request_url) $request_url:=Text_TrimLeadingSlash ($1) // Don't want a leading / If ($request_url="@/") // Don't want a trailing / $request_url:=Substring($request_url;1;Length($request_url)-1) // Drop the first character. End if // This routine is only interested in regular URL items before any ? // and special arguments. C_LONGINT($question_mark_position) $question_mark_position:=Position("?";$request_url) If ($question_mark_position>0) $request_url:=Substring($request_url;1;$question_mark_position-1) End if ARRAY TEXT(WebRequest_URLItems_at;0) // Parse the script URL into array items: Text_ParseIntoArray ($request_url;->WebRequest_URLItems_at;"/") // Save the original URL in the 0 element: WebRequest_URLItems_at{0}:=$request_url // End of routine. I've then got a function to read an item by position safely. I'd expect that most of us have something like Text_ParseIntoArray in our toolkits already. ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
