Data Format!

[deleted_user]

I have a column with incoming url link. How can I get the domain name from the url using SAS

The data in the column looks like

http://bookmarks.yahoo.com/pages/fid/788?b=1&orderby=title&sort=ASC&savestate=1

If I just need "bookmarks.yahoo.com" in the column how could i use SAS to do it.

Thanks for your help!

Use the SCAN function in a DATA step to pick-off the third parsed sub-field, while having the "/" listed as the delimiter.
