Question

I am already trying for over an hour and cant figure out the right way to do it, although it is probably pretty easy:

I have something like this : foo/bar/test

string.substring(start,end)

where

start = Required. The position where to start the extraction. First character is at index 0`.

end = Optional. The position (up to, but not including) where to end the extraction. If omitted, it extracts the rest of the string.

    var string = "var1/var2/var3";

    start   = string.lastIndexOf('/');  //console.log(start); o/p:- 9
    end     = string.length;            //console.log(end);   o/p:- 14

    var string_before_last_slash = string.substring(0, start);
    console.log(string_before_last_slash);//o/p:- var1/var2

    var string_after_last_slash = string.substring(start+1, end);
    console.log(string_after_last_slash);//o/p:- var3

OR

    var string_after_last_slash = string.substring(start+1);
    console.log(string_after_last_slash);//o/p:- var3
