if the url is   http   localhost madukaonline shop php shop 79  console log location search    will bring  shop 79  so the simplest way is to use location search  you can lookup for more info here  and here

The other answers may work if the path is simple  consisting only of simple path elements  But when it contains query params as well  they break  Better use URL object for this instead to get a more robust solution  It is a parsed interpretation of the present URL  Input  const href    https   stackoverflow com boo q foo amp s bar  const segments   new URL href  pathname split       const last   segments pop      segments pop       Handle potential trailing slash console log last    Output   boo  This works for all common browsers  Only our dying IE doesn t support that  and won t   For IE there is a polyfills available  though  if you care at all

Also   var url     this  attr  href    var part   url substring url lastIndexOf        1

You can do this with simple paths  w 0  querystrings etc  Granted probably overly complex and probably not performant  but I wanted to use reduce for the fun of it     quot  foo bar  quot       split path sep       filter x   gt  x      quot  quot        reduce     part  i  arr    gt          if  i    arr length - 1  return part          quot  quot      Split the string on path separators  Filter out empty string path parts  this could happen with trailing slash in path   Reduce the array of path parts to the last one

I don t really know if regex is the right way to solve this issue as it can really affect efficiency of your code  but the below regex will help you fetch the last segment and it will still give you the last segment even if the URL is followed by an empty    The regex that I came up with is

I know it is old but if you want to get this from an URL you could simply use   document location pathname substring document location pathname lastIndexOf         1     document location pathname gets the pathname from the current URL  lastIndexOf get the index of the last occurrence of the following Regex  in our case is     The dot means any character  thus  it will not count if the   is the last character on the URL  substring will cut the string between two indexes

I am using regex and split   var last path   location href match        w     1  split      0  split      0   In the end it will ignore      amp    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

Store original location in loc like  http   test com one   ending slash  var loc   location href      If the last char is a slash trim it  otherwise return the original loc loc   loc lastIndexOf          loc length -1    loc substr 0 loc length-1    loc substr 0 loc lastIndexOf        var targetValue   loc substr loc lastIndexOf        1     targetValue   one  If your url looks like      http   test com one    or      http   test com one   or     http   test com one index htm   Then loc ends up looking like  http   test com one  Now  since you want the last item  run the next step to load the value  targetValue  you originally wanted   var targetValue   loc substr loc lastIndexOf        1

I believe it s safer to remove the tail slash      before doing substring  Because I got an empty string in my scenario   window alert  window location pathname  replace            substr  window location pathname replace             lastIndexOf        1

I know  it is too late  but for others  I highly recommended use PURL jquery plugin  Motivation for PURL is that url can be segmented by     too  example  angular js links   i e  url could looks like      http   test com   about us    or      http   test com  sky blue amp grass green   And with PURL you can easy decide  segment fsegment  which segment you want to get   For  classic  last segment you could write       var url     url  http   test com dir index html key value        var lastSegment   url segment   pop       index html

window alert this pathname substr this pathname lastIndexOf        1      Use the native pathname property because it s simplest and has already been parsed and resolved by the browser    this  attr  href   can return values like       which would not give you the correct result   If you need to keep the search and hash  e g  foo bar baz from http   quux com path to foo bar baz  use this   window alert this pathname substr this pathname lastIndexOf        1    this search   this hash

You can also use the lastIndexOf   function to locate the last occurrence of the   character in your URL  then the substring   function to return the substring starting from that location   console log this href substring this href lastIndexOf        1      That way  you ll avoid creating an array containing all your URL segments  as split   does
