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(\

I am using regex and split:

var last_path = location.href.match(/./(.[\w])/)[1].split("#")[0].split("?")[0]

In the end it will ignore # ? & / ending urls, which happens a lot. Example:

https://cardsrealm.com/profile/cardsRealm -> Returns cardsRealm

https://cardsrealm.com/profile/cardsRealm#hello -> Returns cardsRealm

https://cardsrealm.com/profile/cardsRealm?hello -> Returns cardsRealm

https://cardsrealm.com/profile/cardsRealm/ -> Returns cardsRealm
