JavaScript RegEx to change a string

Question

I need to take strings in the following format:

http:\/\/img.mypath.net\/time\/daily\/2010\/1006\/my_image_name.jpg

And convert them to this, using JavaScript:

http://www.mynewpath.com/i/daily/2010/1006/77_my_image_name.jpeg

I'm sure that someone more fluent in RegEx than I can give a terse solution.

Answer 1

How about this?

var url = 'http:\/\/img.mypath.net\/time\/daily\/2010\/1006\/my_image_name.jpg';    
url = url.replace('\\/', '/'); // Replace \/ by /
url = url.replace('img.mypath.net/time', 'www.mynewpath.com/i'); // Replace domain and first path.
url = url.replace(/([^/]+)$/g, '77_$1'); // Prefix last path with `77_` (???)
alert(url);

The requirement around 77 is unclear, but if it's fixed, the above should do.
