stripping http and https from a url using sed

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I have to write a sed script which removes http and https from a URL. So if
a URL is https://www.example.com or Example Web Page, script should return me Example Web Page

i tried echo $url | sed 's|^http[s]://||g'. It doesn't work. Please help

echo 'https://www.example.com' |sed 's/https\?:\/\///'
3 
echo  "https://www.example.com" | sed 's~http*://~~g'

Based on your own approach:

sed 's/^http\(\|s\):\/\///g'

Or, less geeky, less cryptic: :wink:

sed -e 's/^http:\/\///g' -e 's/^https:\/\///g'

try

-bash-3.00$ echo $site
https://www.example.com
-bash-3.00$ echo ${site#*//}
www.example.com
-bash-3.00$
