I'll step out on a limb here, anyone can feel free to saw it off if
your knowledge of MetaCard grep is better than mine.
The key issue here is that MetaCard's grep function is "greedy" what
that means is that
if you have:
local tUser,tPasswd,tUrl,tPort,tPub
put "http://userName:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:82/pub" into x
put matchText (x, "^http://(.+):(.+)@(.[^/:]+)(:.[^/]+)(/.+)",tUser,\
tPasswd,tUrl,tPort,tPub) into temp
if temp is true then
put tUser$$tPasswd&&tUrl&&tPort&&tPub
See if it works.

This is another one of these computer witchcraft things im sure...

Make sure you read the documentation very well, declare the variables and experiment
starting with the examples given. It's not easy but there is a logic to it in the end.
The
engine sometimes gets confused and it's a good idea to restart once in a while when
practicing.
