broken up because of the '/'s ?

Very simply, you can't. That is an URL, not a directory path.

Insteda of asking this hypothetical question about a hypothetical solution,
please state the problem to be solved and someone will help you.

Hmm, ok then. How could I strip http:// from that string?

Interesting. Newb Q, I'm sure, but when I put that in a while loop I
get: "private method `gsub!' called for ..." /me googles & still
scratches head.

"
res.each do |url|
puts url.gsub!( /^http:\/\//i, '')
end
"

What is "res"? Is it an array of strings?

Also, it is sometimes easier to use the %r{...} syntax instead of /.../,
this allows you to use "/" as an ordinary character.

I thought it was:
res = dbh.query("Select url FROM sites")

Better:
I thought it was array of strings & looks like it to me??

res = dbh.query("Select url FROM sites")
while url = res.fetch_row do
puts url.gsub!( /^http:\/\//i, '')
end
