I want to replace part of the URL with JavaScript but stupid regex is giving me headaches. I want to switch from this:

.html/post/something-else/

to this:

/

Any ideas? Thanks!

• javascript
• regex
• url

• What regexs have you tried – Gus Commented Mar 20, 2013 at 21:04
• @Gus: url.replace(/\/test.html([^\/]+)$/, "\/$1");, var parts = url.split('/'); var img = parts.pop().replace("test.html", ""); parts.push(img) url = parts.join("/"); – Alex Commented Mar 20, 2013 at 21:06
• Do you only want to remove "test.html" or are there more variants? – QuentinUK Commented Mar 20, 2013 at 21:06
• @QuentinUK: no, only "test.html". I’m redirecting every page there. – Alex Commented Mar 20, 2013 at 21:07
• "only 'test.html'" and "redirecting every page" seem to be opposites. Which do you mean? – Gus Commented Mar 20, 2013 at 21:11

Use replace() function

var url = 'http://website./test.html/post/something-else/'
url = url.replace('/test.html','')
console.log(url) // "http://website./post/something-else/"
