Get last value in URL path string

Question

Given an href like:

http://localhost:8888/#!/path/somevalue/needthis

How can I get the last value in the path string (aka: "needthis")?

I tried using window.location.pathname, which gives "/".

I also tried using Angular's $location, which doesn't provide the last value.

Answer 1

you can try this:

s="http://localhost:8888/#!/path/somevalue/needthis"
var final = s.substr(s.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
alert(final)

Answer 2

window.location.pathname.split("/").pop()
