Very simple Perl Scripting Question/problem - geek/talk: Web publishing business discussion

DJ_B · 11-10-2000, 12:29 AM

Hi there folks, I'll make this short:

In the DBMan Script, if you set a text field to URL only it will automatically check to make sure there is a http:// at the beginning of the address. Problem is I want to make it recognize URL with FTP:// (along with HTTP://)at the beginning. The script looks for the HTTP through this line in the script

Thanks in advance!

'^http://']

How would I modify that very simple and short line so it recognizes the prefix FTP:// too? Thanks!

My Perl skills aren't amazing any more, but I believe this should work - sorry if it doesn't http://geekvillage.com/ubb/smile.gif I'll actually look it up then.

^(http://|ftp://)
