Last segment of URL in jquery

How do I get the last segment of a url? I have the following script which displays the full url of the anchor tag clicked:

$(\".tag_name_goes_here\").live(\         


        

Answer 1

var parts = 'http://mywebsite/folder/file'.split('/');
var lastSegment = parts.pop() || parts.pop();  // handle potential trailing slash

console.log(lastSegment);
