I'm making a pretty basic Chrome extension that I use primarily for personal use and use between friends. In any case, I essentially have a URL that looks like this:
i.imgur.com/abcd123.png or
imgur.com/a2b3c78 or even
i.imgur.com/herp321.png?1
The only thing I need out of these URLs are the 7 character codes prior to the extension. In these examples, abcd123, a2b3c78, and herp321.
I've been running a .replace that won't catch exceptions like the third example, and even attempting to throw some regex at it (Which I haven't been able to get even close to functioning properly). The only part of the URL that is constant is as follows, with the code marked as x:
imgur.com/xxxxxxxx
The URL may have a varying beginning, and a varying end immediately after the 7-digit code, but the above is constant. Is there a way of pulling only this alphanumeric filename from the above example, regardless of what prefaces the URL or any modifiers/extensions added to the end?
matched=str.match(/imgur.com\/(.{7})/);
//matched[1] will have your result
