Removing a letters located between to specific string

I want to make sure that the URL I get from window.location does not already contain a specific fragment identifier already. If it does, I must remove it. So I must search the URL, and find the string that starts with mp- and continues until the end URL or the next # (Just in case the URL contains more than one fragment identifier).
Examples of inputs and outputs:
www.site.com/#mp-1 --> www.site.com/
www.site.com#mp-1 --> www.site.com
www.site.com/#mp-1#pic --> www.site.com/#pic
My code:
(that obviously does not work correctly)
var url = window.location;
if(url.toLowerCase().indexOf("#mp-") >= 0){
var imgString = url.substring(url.indexOf('#mp-') + 4,url.indexOf('#'));
console.log(imgString);
}
Any idea how to do it?

Something like this? This uses a regular expression to filter the unwanted string.
var inputs = [
"www.site.com/#mp-1",
"www.site.com#mp-1",
"www.site.com/#mp-1#pic"
];
inputs = inputs.map(function(input) {
return input.replace(/#mp-1?/, '');
});
console.log(inputs);
Output:
["www.site.com/", "www.site.com", "www.site.com/#pic"]

The regex I used /#mp-1?/ removes any strings like #mp- or #mp-1. For a string of unknown length until the next hashtag, you can use /#mp-[^#]* which removes #mp-, #mp-1, and #mp-somelongstring.

Use regular expressions:
var url = window.location;
var imgString = url.replace(/(#mp-[^#\s]+)/, "");
It removes from URL hash anything from mp- to the char before #.
Regex101 demo

You can use .replace to replace a regular expression matching ("#mp-" followed by 0 or more non-# characters) with the empty string. If it's possible there are multiple segments you want to remove, just add a g flag to the regex.
url = url.replace(/#mp-[^#]*/, '');

The window.location has the hash property so... window.location.hash
The most primitive way is to declare
var char_start, char_end
and find two "#" or one and the 2nd will be end of input.
with that... you can do what you want, the change of window.location.hash will normally affect the browser adress.
Good luck!

Regex expression to match the First url after a space followed

I want to match the First url followed by a space using regex expression while typing in the input box.
For example :
if I type www.google.com it should be matched only after a space followed by the url
ie www.google.com<SPACE>
Code
$(".site").keyup(function()
{
var site=$(this).val();
var exp = /^http(s?):\/\/(\w+:{0,1}\w*)?(\S+)(:[0-9]+)?(\/|\/([\w#!:.?+=&%#!\-\/]))?/;
var find = site.match(exp);
var url = find? find[0] : null;
if (url === null){
var exp = /[-\w]+(\.[a-z]{2,})+(\S+)?(\/|\/[\w#!:.?+=&%#!\-\/])?/g;
var find = site.match(exp);
url = find? 'http://'+find[0] : null;
}
});
Fiddle
Please help, Thanks in advance

you should be using a better regex to correctly match the query & fragment parts of your url. Have a look here (What is the best regular expression to check if a string is a valid URL?) for a correct IRI/URI structured Regex test.
But here's a rudimentary version:
var regex = /[-\w]+(\.[a-z]{2,})+(\/?)([^\s]+)/g;
var text = 'test google.com/?q=foo basdasd www.url.com/test?q=asdasd#cheese something else';
console.log(text.match(regex));
Expected Result:
["google.com/?q=foo", "www.url.com/test?q=asdasd#cheese"]
If you really want to check for URLs, make sure you include scheme, port, username & password checks just to be safe.
In the context of what you're trying to achieve, you should really put in some delay so that you don't impact browser performance. Regex tests can be expensive when you use complex rules especially so when running the same rule every time a new character is entered. Just think about what you're trying to achieve and whether or not there's a better solution to get there.

With a lookahead:
var exp = /[-\w]+(\.[a-z]{2,})+(\S+)?(\/|\/[\w#!:.?+=&%#!\-\/])?(?= )/g;
I only added this "(?= )" to your regex.

Remove name from url query using regular expression

How can I remove the "/page/2/" from the url using a regular expression in javascript. Where the 2 can be any number ie. /page/5/. but "page" and the slashes will be consistently there.
mydomain.com/posts/page/2/

Use this pattern : (.*)[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/$
Full code :
var string = 'mydomain.com/posts/page/2/';
var result = /(.*)[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/$/.exec(string);
var wantedPath = result[1];
Testable here : http://jsfiddle.net/3h7dX/
note : page can be other thing as your number value.
Please, valid the answer to close your question if it is correct.

string = string.replace(/\/page\/\d+\//, "");
This should solve your problem. Example is under http://jsfiddle.net/AfR4D/

How to find in javascript with regular expression string from url?

Good evening, How can I find in javascript with regular expression string from url address for example i have url: http://www.odsavacky.cz/blog/wpcproduct/mikronebulizer/ and I need only string between last slashes (/ /) http://something.cz/something/string/ in this example word that i need is mikronebulizer. Thank you very much for you help.

You could use a regex match with a group.
Use this:
/([\w\-]+)\/$/.exec("http://www.odsavacky.cz/blog/wpcproduct/mikronebulizer/")[1];
Here's a jsfiddle showing it in action
This part: ([\w\-]+)
Means at least 1 or more of the set of alphanumeric, underscore and hyphen and use it as the first match group.
Followed by a /
And then finally the: $
Which means the line should end with this
The .exec() returns an array where the first value is the full match (IE: "mikronebulizer/") and then each match group after that.
So .exec()[1] returns your value: mikronebulizer

Simply:
url.match(/([^\/]*)\/$/);
Should do it.
If you want to match (optionally) without a trailing slash, use:
url.match(/([^\/]*)\/?$/);
See it in action here: http://regex101.com/r/cL3qG3

If you have the url provided, then you can do it this way:
var url = 'http://www.odsavacky.cz/blog/wpcproduct/mikronebulizer/';
var urlsplit = url.split('/');
var urlEnd = urlsplit[urlsplit.length- (urlsplit[urlsplit.length-1] == '' ? 2 : 1)];
This will match either everything after the last slash, if there's any content there, and otherwise, it will match the part between the second-last and the last slash.

Something else to consider - yes a pure RegEx approach might be easier (heck, and faster), but I wanted to include this simply to point out window.location.pathName.
function getLast(){
// Strip trailing slash if present
var path = window.location.pathname.replace(/\/$?/, '');
return path.split('/').pop();
}

Alternatively you could get using split:
var pieces = "http://www.odsavacky.cz/blog/wpcproduct/mikronebulizer/".split("/");
var lastSegment = pieces[pieces.length - 2];
// lastSegment == mikronebulizer

var url = 'http://www.odsavacky.cz/blog/wpcproduct/mikronebulizer/';
if (url.slice(-1)=="/") {
url = url.substr(0,url.length-1);
}
var lastSegment = url.split('/').pop();
document.write(lastSegment+"<br>");

Regex to get a specific query string variable in a URL

I have a URL like
server/area/controller/action/4/?param=2"
in which the server can be
http://localhost/abc
https://test.abc.com
https://abc.om
I want to get the first character after "action/" which is 4 in the above URL, with a regex. Is it possible with regex in js, or is there any way?

Use regex \d+(?=\/\?)
var url = "server/area/controller/action/4/?param=2";
var param = url.match(/\d+(?=\/\?)/);
Test code here.

Using this regex in JavaScript:
action/(.)
Allows you to access the first matching group, which will contain the first character after action/ -- see the examples at JSFiddle

This way splits the URL on the / characters and extracts the last but one element
var url = "server/area/controller/action/4/?param=2".split ('/').slice (-2,-1)[0];
