Have you ever tried to extract various parts of URL....? If yes then you know how tedious it is. But in fact is very simple if you use API UrlGetPart.

Here is a simple example to use this API.

Step-By-Step Example

- Create a standard exe project
- Place the following code in form1

Click here to copy the following block
Private Const MAX_PATH    As Long = 260
Private Const ERROR_SUCCESS As Long = 0

Private Const URL_PART_SCHEME As Long = 1
Private Const URL_PART_HOSTNAME As Long = 2
Private Const URL_PART_USERNAME As Long = 3
Private Const URL_PART_PASSWORD As Long = 4
Private Const URL_PART_PORT As Long = 5
Private Const URL_PART_QUERY As Long = 6

Private Const URL_PARTFLAG_KEEPSCHEME As Long = &H1

Private Declare Function UrlGetPart Lib "shlwapi" Alias "UrlGetPartA" ( _
    ByVal pszIn As String, _
    ByVal pszOut As String, _
    pcchOut As Long, _
    ByVal dwPart As Long, _
    ByVal dwFlags As Long) As Long

Dim strURL As String

Private Sub Form_Load()
  strURL = "http://myusername:mypassword@www.mysite.com:5555/default.asp?Code=123"

  Debug.Print strURL & vbCrLf

  Debug.Print "SCHEME : " & GetUrlParts(strURL, URL_PART_SCHEME, 0&)
  Debug.Print "HOSTNAME : " & GetUrlParts(strURL, URL_PART_HOSTNAME, 0&)
  Debug.Print "USERNAME : " & GetUrlParts(strURL, URL_PART_USERNAME, 0&)
  Debug.Print "PASSWORD : " & GetUrlParts(strURL, URL_PART_PASSWORD, 0&)
  Debug.Print "PORT : " & GetUrlParts(strURL, URL_PART_PORT, 0&)
  Debug.Print "QUERY : " & GetUrlParts(strURL, URL_PART_QUERY, 0&)

End Sub

Private Function GetUrlParts(ByVal sUrl As String, _
               dwPart As Long, _
               dwFlags As Long) As String

  Dim sPart As String
  Dim dwSize As Long

  If Len(sUrl) > 0 Then
    sPart = Space$(MAX_PATH)
    dwSize = Len(sPart)

    If UrlGetPart(sUrl, _
        sPart, _
        dwSize, _
        dwPart, _
        dwFlags) = ERROR_SUCCESS Then

      GetUrlParts = Left$(sPart, dwSize)
    End If
  End If
End Function

Output :
http:myusername:mypassword@www.mysite.com:5555default.asp?Code123SCHEME:httpHOSTNAME:www.mysite.comUSERNAME:myusernamePASSWORD:mypasswordPORT:5555QUERY:Code12
