JS Get Second To Last Index Of

rated 0 times [ 22] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 26991 / 10 Years ago, fri, august 15, 2014, 12:00:00

I am trying to figure out how to get the second to last index of a character in a string.

For example, I have a string like so:

http://www.example.com/website/projects/2

I currently get the number 2 by using

$(location).attr('href').substring($(location).attr('href').lastIndexOf('/')+1);

But what if I want to get the word projects?

Can anybody help me out with this? Thanks in advance!

You can use split method:

var url = $(location).attr('href').split( '/' );

console.log( url[ url.length - 1 ] ); // 2

console.log( url[ url.length - 2 ] ); // projects

// etc.
