[javascript] Get value of a string after last slash in JavaScript

I am already trying for over an hour and cant figure out the right way to do it, although it is probably pretty easy:

I have something like this : foo/bar/test.html

I would like to use jQuery to extract everything after the last /. In the example above the output would be test.html.

I guess it can be done using substr and indexOf(), but I cant find a working solution.

var str = "foo/bar/test.html";
var lastSlash = str.lastIndexOf("/");
alert(str.substring(lastSlash+1));

When I know the string is going to be reasonably short then I use the following one liner... (remember to escape backslashes)

// if str is C:\windows\file system\path\picture name.jpg
alert( str.split('\\').pop() );

alert pops up with picture name.jpg

Jquery:

var afterDot = value.substr(value.lastIndexOf('_') + 1);

Javascript:

var myString = 'asd/f/df/xc/asd/test.jpg'
var parts    = myString.split('/');
var answer   = parts[parts.length - 1];
console.log(answer);

Replace '_' || '/' to your own need

Try;

var str = "foo/bar/test.html";
var tmp = str.split("/");
alert(tmp.pop());

light weigh

string.substring(start,end)

where

start = Required. The position where to start the extraction. First character is at index 0`.

end = Optional. The position (up to, but not including) where to end the extraction. If omitted, it extracts the rest of the string.

    var string = "var1/var2/var3";

    start   = string.lastIndexOf('/');  //console.log(start); o/p:- 9
    end     = string.length;            //console.log(end);   o/p:- 14

    var string_before_last_slash = string.substring(0, start);
    console.log(string_before_last_slash);//o/p:- var1/var2

    var string_after_last_slash = string.substring(start+1, end);
    console.log(string_after_last_slash);//o/p:- var3

OR

    var string_after_last_slash = string.substring(start+1);
    console.log(string_after_last_slash);//o/p:- var3

Try this:

const url = "files/images/gallery/image.jpg";_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(url.split("/").pop());

String path ="AnyDirectory/subFolder/last.htm";
int pos = path.lastIndexOf("/") + 1;

path.substring(pos, path.length()-pos) ;

Now you have the last.htm in the path string.

You don't need jQuery, and there are a bunch of ways to do it, for example:

var parts = myString.split('/');
var answer = parts[parts.length - 1];

Where myString contains your string.

As required in Question::

var string1= "foo/bar/test.html";
  if(string1.contains("/"))
  {
      var string_parts = string1.split("/");
    var result = string_parts[string_parts.length - 1];
    console.log(result);
  }  

and for question asked on url (asked for one occurence of '=' )::

var string1= "Hello how are =you";
  if(string1.contains("="))
  {
      var string_parts = string1.split("=");
    var result = string_parts[string_parts.length - 1];
    console.log(result);
  }
