how to extract last value in the URL using JQuery

Question

how to extract the last value that is 1 from the following Url using jQuery...

Url : /FormBuilder/index.php/reports/export/1

Answer 1

As you can see from all of the answers JQuery isn't needed to do this.

You could split it:

var url = 'www.google.com/dir1/dir2/2';
var id = parseInt(url.split('/')[url.split('/').length - 1]);

Answer 2

You can use substring and lastIndexOf:

var value = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);

If the second parameter of substring is omitted, it extracts the characters to the end of the string.
