I am trying to build a url cleaner.
I am looking to get a list of urls and remove all https://, http://, www., etc. from the beginning as well as all text after the trailing /.
I have tried the following regex url.replace(/^https?\:\/\/www\./i, "").split('/')[0];
This works to a certain extent and outputs the following
"www.net-temps.com"
"www.toplanguagejobs.com"
"http:"
"peopleready.com"
"nationjob.com"
"http:"
"bluesteps.com"
"https:"
"theguardian.com"
"reddit.com"
"youtube.com"
"https:"
"pgatour.com"
"cultofmac.com"
from the following list:
'www.net-temps.com',
'www.toplanguagejobs.com',
'http://nychires.com/',
'http://www.peopleready.com/',
'https://www.nationjob.com/',
'http://nationaljobsonline.com/',
'https://www.bluesteps.com/',

If I remove the /www\. from the regex this works well and removes all https: etc., but I'd also like to remove the www. if it's there regardless of https:
This is what i have coded so far

In the future once this is sorted. I would like to take a list of urls from a text area run makeDomainBeautiful and output to another textarea but thought I'd get this working first.
/^(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?/i where both https:// and www. should be optional (?) and non-capturing groups ((?:...)).
var url = prompt("url: ");
url = url.replace(/^(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?/i, "").split('/')[0];
alert("url: " + url);
