Try the following in a JavaScript column:

```auto
return p1.split('.')[1];

```

Use the URL as a replacement for `p1`

That is great. the only issue is where the www. does not exist in the website. I was thinking of using an if-then-else to check for the www. existing and then another javascript colum that removes the characters after the first “.”

See the item second from bottom

or do you have a better suggestion and if you think this would be best then could you help me with the javascript for this removal.

Thanks

```auto
return p1.match(/www/) ? p1.split('.')[1] : p1.split('.')[0];

```

But beware that if you’re likely to have other variations, the above might break in different ways.
