Get Domain from URL in Powershell

Question

I\'m looking to strip out the domain in this scenario using PowerShell. What is the most effective method to get \'domain.com\' out of the following variable?

Answer 1

Try the Uri class:

PS> [System.Uri]"http://www.domain.com/folder/"


AbsolutePath   : /folder/
AbsoluteUri    : http://www.domain.com/folder/
LocalPath      : /folder/
Authority      : www.domain.com
HostNameType   : Dns
IsDefaultPort  : True
IsFile         : False
IsLoopback     : False
PathAndQuery   : /folder/
Segments       : {/, folder/}
IsUnc          : False
Host           : www.domain.com
Port           : 80
Query          :
Fragment       :
Scheme         : http
OriginalString : http://www.domain.com/folder/
DnsSafeHost    : www.domain.com
IsAbsoluteUri  : True
UserEscaped    : False
UserInfo       :

And remove the www prefix:

PS> ([System.Uri]"http://www.domain.com/folder/").Host -replace '^www\.'
domain.com
