Question

I want to extract the complete path i.e the path followed by the host name of a URL in javascript.

var url = 'https://domain.us/file.php/fghfgh?id=1'

Here i want to extract /file.php/fghfgh?id=1

How can this achieve only using regular expression not by “document.createElement('a')” methode ?

I need the answer in regular expression ,

If you are accessing the location object, you could do

var path = location.href.replace(location.protocol+"//"+location.hostname,"")

or

var path = location.pathname+location.search

If you have # you may need to add it too as pointed out by just_mad:

var path = location.pathname+location.search+location.hash
