Hi, Everyone!

I have used StrokesPlus for some years and I am new to StrokesPlus.net.
Would you tell me how to write a script which can navigate to a parent directory (URL) of a webpage?
(Example: https://abc.def/ghi/jkl/ -> https://abc.def/ghi/ )

The script for StrokesPlus was like this (Lua Script):

acActivateWindow(nil, gex, gey)
acSendKeys("^l{DELAY 50}^c")
url=acGetClipboardText()
new_url=string.gsub(url,"(.+)/.+/?","%1")
acSetClipboardText(new_url)
acSendKeys("^v{DELAY 50}{ENTER}")

Thanks in advance.

Haven't tested this with a large variety of URLs, but it seems like it should be good.
Code:
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_L]); //Control+L
sp.Sleep(40);
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_C]); //Control+C
//Take URL from clipboard and remove last segment, then save result to clipboard
clip.SetText(clip.GetText().split("/").slice(0,-1).join("/")); 
sp.SendModifiedVKeys([vk.LCONTROL], [vk.VK_V]); //Control+V
sp.SendVKey(vk.RETURN); //Enter

Rob, thank you for your quick reply!
Your script worked well in my environment.
I got occasional error (related to Text? Null?, I could not understand),
but it was not a big problem.
I'll try to learn more about JavaScript and your code by myself.
Anyway, thanks for your help!

Let me know what the error is next time it happens. Odds are it may be a timing issue - for example it didn't get to copy the URL or something in time before it tried to parse the string from the clipboard.

We may need to increase the delay or add in some other logic to check and catch those conditions, etc. Or it might be that the URL didn't have enough "/" in it, like http://abc.com/test so it had trouble parsing off the last directory.
