I have make this code:

var newURL = $(.list-portfolio a).attr(href),

    pathArray = newURL.split( '/' ),

    secondLevelLocation = pathArray[0];

console.log(pathArray);



    var pathArray = pathArray[3, 4];

The pathArray value is [http:, , www.mikevierwind.nl, portfolio, ruimzicht.html]

How can i get the last 2 items of this array. I want that the results is portfolio/ruimzicht.html.

You don't need any of this, you just want window.location.pathname:

> window.location.pathname

/questions/11898626/get-items-of-the-array/11898963

This will let you in the future have directories like portfolio/2012/ruimzicht.html, and change domains to say www.mikevierwind.??? without changing your code.

If you are not currently on the domain (and can't do the above), you can do it your way with a one-liner:

> pathArray.slice(-2).join('/')

portfolio/ruimzicht.html

But this is not future-proof like the above. To make it future-proof, you can do:

> url.split(document.domain)[1].slice(1)

portfolio/2012/ruimzicht.html

One would do this generally on foreign URLs when you are not currently on the domain and thus can't do window.location.pathname.
