Question

I know it is an easy one, sorry for asking, but I’m going mad and I cannot get it. Must be the fundamentals, I’ve got them all mix up :((

I have this url:

https://www.myweb.sub.com/~user/folder/file.php?param=Value

I need to get:

https://www.myweb.sub.com/~user/folder/

in a variable.

Please help to achieve it.

Thanks a lot

You can use the slice() and lastIndexOf() methods:

var url = "https://www.myweb.sub.com/~user/folder/file.php?param=Value"; 
var segment = url.slice(0, url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);

If your current URL is actually https://www.myweb.sub.com/~user/folder/file.php?param=Value, operate on window.location.href instead.
