Get the second last parameter in a url using javascript

Question

I have a url like this

http://example.com/param1/param2/param3

Please help me get the second last parameter using javascript. I searched and could only find regex method to find the last parameter. I am new to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Answer 1

var url = 'http://example.com/param1/param2/param3';
var result= url.split('/');
var Param = result[result.length-2];

Split() - Splits the string into an array of strings based on the separator you mentioned

In the above , result will be an array that contains

result = [http:,,example.com,param1,param2,param3];
