Regular expression to remove hostname and port from URL?

Question

I need to write some javascript to strip the hostname:port part from a url, meaning I want to extract the path part only.

i.e. I want to write a function getPath(url

The window.location object has pathname, search and hash properties which contain what you require.

for this page

location.pathname = '/questions/441755/regular-expression-to-remove-hostname-and-port-from-url'  
location.search = '' //because there is no query string
location.hash = ''

so you could use

var fullpath = location.pathname+location.search+location.hash
