    text
    copied!<p>I need a regular expression written to use in gVim that will remove duplicate domains from a list of URLs (gVim can be downloaded here: <a href="http://www.vim.org/download.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.vim.org/download.php</a></p> <p>I have a list of over 6,000,000 URLs in a .txt file (which opens in gVim for editing).</p> <p>The URLs are in this format:</p> <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>http://www.example.com/some-url.php http://example2.com/another_url.html http://example3.com/ http://www.example4.com/anotherURL.htm http://www.example.com/some-url2.htm http://example.com/some-url3.html http://www.example2.com/somethingelse.php http://example5.com </code></pre> <p>In other words, there is no specific format to the URLs. Some have the WWW, some don't, they all have different formats.</p> <p>I need a regular expression written for gVim that will remove all duplicate DOMAINs from the list (and it's corresponding URL), leaving behind the first instance it finds.</p> <p>So it would take the example list posted above, and the end result should look like this:</p> <pre class="lang-none prettyprint-override"><code>http://www.example.com/some-url.php http://example2.com/another_url.html http://example3.com/ http://www.example4.com/anotherURL.htm http://example5.com </code></pre> <p>Here are two nice sites that explain how to use regular expressions within gVim pretty nicely:</p> <p><a href="http://supportweb.cs.bham.ac.uk/documentation/tutorials/docsystem/build/tutorials/gvim/gvim.html#Vi-Regular-Expressions" rel="nofollow">http://supportweb.cs.bham.ac.uk/documentation/tutorials/docsystem/build/tutorials/gvim/gvim.html#Vi-Regular-Expressions</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.softpanorama.org/Editors/Vimorama/vim_regular_expressions.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.softpanorama.org/Editors/Vimorama/vim_regular_expressions.shtml</a></p>
