• 1 @racecarjonathan the answer you posted isn't related. I'm trying to count the url segments not get the last segment. I googled and didn't find a straightforward solution. – CyberJunkie Commented Feb 12, 2015 at 19:15

var count = (location.pathname.split('/').length - 1) - (location.pathname[location.pathname.length - 1] == '/' ? 1 : 0);

var url = "www.myurl./segment1/segment2/segment3";
var segment = url.split("/").length - 1 - (url.indexOf("http://")==-1?0:2);
console.log(segment);

If number of "/" are segments for you
