Get part of the url pathname via JavaScript regex

rated 0 times [ 35] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 10775 / 11 Years ago, fri, january 31, 2014, 12:00:00

I have following url:

https://www.example.com/article/f/1/test+article

And I need to get 1 part from the url via JavaScript (pure javascript). I know that I can get it with location.pathname.replace() but I'm not good with regex.

UPDATE

Just for clarification: https://www.example.com/article/f/ never changes, it's constant. The only part of the url that can change is 1 (article id) and test article (article name). And I want to catch the article id.

location.pathname.match(//article/f/(d+)/)[1]

I'm trying to match /article/f/ and at least 1 digit captured by the group(note the parenthesis).
If that id is the single number in your path, you can get it directly by:

location.pathname.match(/d+/)[0]
