• javascript
• jquery

• 4 What is the rule to decide which are the "last parameters"? Remove the last 2 elements inside /? Everything after a given string i.e. "tickets"? – Giorgio Commented Feb 4, 2015 at 9:18

Try this simple method using lastIndexOf() and slice()

url = 'http://localhost/autoservice/public_html/tickets/load_service/6';
url = url.slice(0, url.lastIndexOf('/'));
url = url.slice(0, url.lastIndexOf('/'));
alert(url);

You can use regex here:

^(.+)(\/[^\/]+\/.+)$

DEMO

Used with Javascript:

var url = 'http://localhost/autoservice/public_html/tickets/load_service/6';

alert(
   'BEFORE\n' + url + '\n\n'+
   'AFTER\n' + url.replace(/^(.+)(\/[^\/]+\/.+)$/g, '$1')
);
