Split variable from last slash

I have a variable var1/var2/var3. I want to store var3 the part after last slash in a variable and the part before that (var1/var2/) in another variable. How can I do this?

Solution

  • You can use lastIndexOf to get the last variable and that to get the rest.

    var str = "var1/var2/var3";

var rest = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
var last = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, str.length);
console.log(rest);
console.log(last);
