Question

I have a full path to an image, which I am using jQuery to read like this:

$('img.my_image').attr('src');

However I just want the filename portion (i.e. without full path).

Are there any built-in functions to do this, or would a regex be the only option?

Answer 1

var fileNameIndex = yourstring.lastIndexOf("/") + 1;
var filename = yourstring.substr(fileNameIndex);
