srawls, your .= solution doesn't work in this case: http://www.something.com/something (one of the formats the poster was expecting). Trying, perhaps a conditional statement would fix your solution: `if($address =~ m!/$!) { $address .= 'index.html' } else { $address .= '/index.html' }` [download] As per srawls' last solution offered, you can add a simple regex check to the condition clause, as well, if only certain $address variables are desired.

if you know you will always add 'index.html', a regex is too much. Try this: `$address .= '/index.html'` [download] if you won't always add it, try this as a regex: `$address =~ s!http://www.(?:[^/]/)*!/index.html!` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I guess it won't let me edit my post ... Change that last regex to: `$address =~ s!http://(www.(?:[^/]/)*)!$1/index.html!` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

If you only want to change exactly http://www.something.com/something (with or without slash) to http://www.something.com/something/index.html try: `s{ http://www\.something\.com/something # the URL you are looking for # remeber to backslash '.' (?!\w) # a negative look-ahead asserti +on # do not allow a dirname of 'so +methinglong' /? # an optional slash } # end of search pattern { # replace with http://www.something.com/something/index.html }gx` [download] -- Hofmator	[reply] [d/l]

eesh, well, that ended up tacking /index.html onto all the links, not just the ones that needed it...	[reply]
