If all of your links are fully formed like that you don't need regexs at all
- just treat the URL as a list delimited by a forward slash ("/").
Since CF condenses multiple delimiters I think this will give you your URL:
<cfset Link = "http://www.blah.com/something/somethingelse/default.cfm " />
<cfset JustDomainLink = ListGetAt(Link, 1, "/") & "//" & ListGetAt(Link, 2,
"/") />
Using the ListGetAt() for the first part (the protocol) is important to
catch none http links like "https:" and "ftp:".
