remove everything before the last occurrence of a character

Question

I\'m trying to perform the following action on a string :

• find the last occurrence of the character \"/\";
• remove everything before that

Answer 1

You have the right idea just replace the brackets with parentheses.

var string = "/Roland/index.php";
var result = string.substring(string.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);

Here is an example in jsfiddle and here is an explanation of the .lastIndexOf() method on the Mozilla Developer Network.
