In addition to  stenix  this worked perfectly to me   url    window location href      paramName    myparam           paramValue     this  val            var pattern   new RegExp     paramName         amp                var newUrl   url replace pattern   1    paramValue     2            var n url indexOf paramName           alert n          if n    -1               newUrl   newUrl    newUrl indexOf      gt 0     amp            paramName         paramValue                    window location href   newUrl    Here no need to save the  url  variable  just replace in current url

If you look closely you ll see two surprising things about URLs    1  they  seem simple  but the details and corner cases are actually hard   2  Amazingly JavaScript doesn t provide a full API for making working with them any easier    I think a full-fledged library is in order to avoid people re-inventing the wheel themselves or copying some random dude s clever  but likely buggy regex code snippet    Maybe try URI js  http   medialize github io URI js

A solution without Regex  a little bit easier on the eye  one I was looking for  This supports ports  hash parameters etc   Uses browsers attribute element as a parser   function setUrlParameters url  parameters        var parser   document createElement  a        parser href   url       url            if  parser protocol            url    parser protocol                    if  parser host            url    parser host             if  parser pathname            url    parser pathname             var queryParts            if  parser search            var search   parser search substring 1            var searchParts   search split   amp             for  var i   0  i  lt  searchParts length  i                  var searchPart   searchParts i                var whitespaceIndex   searchPart indexOf                    if  whitespaceIndex     -1                    var key   searchPart substring 0  whitespaceIndex                   var value   searchPart substring whitespaceIndex   1                    queryParts key    value                else                   queryParts searchPart    false                                     var parameterKeys   Object keys parameters        for  var i   0  i  lt  parameterKeys length  i              var parameterKey   parameterKeys i            queryParts parameterKey    parameters parameterKey               var queryPartKeys   Object keys queryParts        var query            for  var i   0  i  lt  queryPartKeys length  i              if  query length     0                query                           if  query length  gt  1                query      amp                       var queryPartKey   queryPartKeys i            query    queryPartKey           if  queryParts queryPartKey                 query                      query    queryParts queryPartKey                        url    query       if  parser hash            url    parser hash             return url

If you are having very narrow and specific use-case like replacing a particular parameter of given name that have alpha-numeric values with certain special characters capped upto certain length limit  you could try this approach   urlValue replace   bsrc  0-9a-zA-Z     -  1 50  b    src     newValue     Example   let urlValue    www example com a b amp src test-value amp p q   const newValue    sucess   console log urlValue replace   bsrc  0-9a-zA-Z     -  1 50  b    src     newValue       output - www example com a b amp src sucess amp p q

Editing a Parameter The set method of the URLSearchParams object sets the new value of the parameter   After setting the new value you can get the new query string with the toString   method  This query string can be set as the new value of the search property of the URL object   The final new url can then be retrieved with the toString   method of the URL object    var query string   url search   var search params   new URLSearchParams query string        new value of  id  is set to  101  search params set  id    101        change the search property of the main url url search   search params toString        the new url string var new url   url toString        output   http   demourl com path id 101 amp topic main console log new url      Source - https   usefulangle com post 81 javascript-change-url-parameters

The following solution combines other answers and handles some special cases    The parameter does not exist in the original url The parameter is the only parameter The parameter is first or last The new parameter value is the same as the old The url ends with a   character  b ensures another parameter ending with paramName won t be matched   Solution   function replaceUrlParam url  paramName  paramValue        if  paramValue    null            paramValue                 var pattern   new RegExp    b   paramName         amp              if  url search pattern  gt  0            return url replace pattern   1    paramValue     2              url   url replace                  return url    url indexOf      gt 0     amp            paramName         paramValue      Known limitations    Does not clear a parameter by setting paramValue to null  instead it sets it to empty string  See https   stackoverflow com a 25214672 if you want to remove the parameter

Here is modified stenix s code  it s not perfect but it handles cases where there is a param in url that contains provided parameter  like    search searchquery text and  query  is provided    In this case searchquery param value is changed   Code   function replaceUrlParam url  paramName  paramValue       var pattern   new RegExp          amp     paramName         amp           var newUrl url     if url search pattern  gt  0           newUrl   url replace pattern   1 2    paramValue     3              else          newUrl   newUrl    newUrl indexOf      gt 0     amp            paramName         paramValue           return newUrl

Wouldn t this be a better solution   var text    http   localhost mysite includes phpThumb php src http   media2 jupix co uk v3 clients 4 properties 795 IMG 795 1 large jpg amp w 592 amp aoe 1 amp q 100   var newSrc    www google com   var newText   text replace   src       amp      1    newSrc     2      EDIT   added some clarity in code and kept  src  in the resulting link   1 represents first part within the     i e  src  and  2 represents the second part within the     i e   amp   so this indicates you are going to change the value between src and  amp   More clear  it should be like this    src  changed value  amp     this is to be replaced with your original url   ADD-ON for replacing all the ocurrences   If you have several parameters with the same name  you can append to the regex global flag  like this text replace   src       amp   g   1    newSrc     2    and that will replaces all the values for those params that shares the same name
