How to get part of the path with jQuery?

Question

I have following URL www.webiste.com/Services/allservices.html

How could I get part of this URL with jQuery?

e.g 'services' or 'allservices.html'

Any suggestion much appreciated.

Answer 1

var url = 'http://www.website.com/Services/allservices.html';

// Getting the file name (allservices.html)
var fn = url.split('/').reverse()[0];

// Getting the extension (html)
var ext = url.split('/').reverse()[0].split('.').reverse()[0];

// Getting the last middle part (services)
var lm = url.split('/').reverse()[1];

Answer 2

var url = "www.webiste.com/Services/allservices.html"
    url = url.split("/");
    alert(url[1]);

In the above example split the string url when find / (separator) and save it in an array. Then using the proper index, you can use the substring you wish (in the above example will alert Services).
