Parsing Web URL in iPhone Development

I am trying to parse a HTML string in a iPhone app.

Example: The URL is http://www.apple.com/developer

I want to delete the "developer" part so all I have will be http://www.apple.com

How could I do this?

Have you considered the NSUrl method URLByDeletingLastPathComponent or the method pathComponents?

URLByDeletingLastPathComponent

Returns a new URL made by deleting the last path component from the original URL.

pathComponents

Returns the individual path components of a file URL in an array.

Here is a good tutorial/example on NSURL methods.

You can also bring it in to an NSURL and get the parts you want:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com/developer"];
[url host]; // @"www.apple.com"
[url scheme]; // @"http"

You can search for the third slash in the string and then substring it to get the part you want
