IndexOf

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jul 24.2007

I’m trying to use the indexof function to get part or the url below.

[url]http://www.site.co.uk/facilities/build.asp[/url]

[CODE]thisPage = location.href.substring((location.href.lastIndexOf(“/”))+1)
alert(thisPage); [/CODE]

I just want to get the word in between the two /…/ in this case facilities but I’m having problems.

Any help would great.

Thanks

Jemes

@Typhoon101Jul 24.2007 — You could try this.

[CODE]<script>
var theString = document.location.href;
var dir = theString.split("/");
alert(dir[dir.length-2]);
</script>[/CODE]

This will return the final directory name regardless of how many folders deep the file is.

i.e. [URL]http://mysite.com/directory-1/directory-2/directory-3/directory-4/file.asp[/URL] will return directory-4.

Hope this is what you want.
