[Wtr-general] Need Regular Expression help with a URL string

[Paul Carvalho]

Thanks Alan!  That works better than what I was trying to do.  Now I can
create the new URL with a line like:

new_url = ie.url[/(.*)\//] + "new_page.html"

Sweet!  I was trying expressions like =~ /\&\// but wasn't having any luck.

Cheers!  Paul C.
