Last segment of URL in jquery

Question

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

Returns the last segment, regardless of trailing slashes:

var val = 'http://mywebsite/folder/file//'.split('/').filter(Boolean).pop();

console.log(val);
