Need a basename function in Javascript

Question

I need a short basename function (one-liner ?) for Javascript:

basename(\"/a/folder/file.a.ext\") -> \"file.a\"
basename(\"/a/folder/file.ext\") -> \"f         


        

Answer 1

This is my implementation which I use in my fundamental js file.

// BASENAME

Window.basename = function() {
    var basename = window.location.pathname.split(/[\\/]/);
    return basename.pop() || basename.pop();
}
