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];

REGEX ONLY
I exclusively need Javascript regex code to convert URLs like
https://hello.romeo-juliet.fr
https://hello.romeojuliet.co.uk
https://hello.romeo-jul-iet.fr
https://hello.romeo-juliet.com
into this string romeojuliet
Basically want to get the alphabetic domain name with removing all other characters and https://, com/co.uk/fr etc Top Level Domains
Would be helpful if done using JS replace.
I tried till here
let url="https://hello.romeo-juliet.fr";
const test=url.replace(/(^\w+:|^)\/\/(\w+.)/, '');
console.log(test);
A non regex solution:
Get the host of the URL (by parsing the string with the URL() constructor and getting its host property), split by a period and get the second item in the resulting array, then remove all occurences of -:
let url="https://hello.romeo-juliet.fr";
const test = new URL(url).host.split(".")[1].replaceAll("-", '');
console.log(test);
You can use it with no regex as the following:
let url="https://hello.romeo-juliet.fr";
url.substring(url.indexOf(".")+1, url.lastIndexOf("."));
// result: romeo-juliet
I hope this answers your question
Problem:
Extract image file name from CDN address similar to the following:
https://cdnstorage.api.com/v0/b/my-app.com/o/photo%2FB%_2.jpeg?alt=media&token=4e32-a1a2-c48e6c91a2ba
Two-stage Solution:
I am using two regular expressions to retrieve the file name:
var postLastSlashRegEx = /[^\/]+$/,
preQueryRegEx = /^([^?]+)/;
var fileFromURL = urlString.match(postLastSlashRegEx)[0].match(preQueryRegEx)[0];
// fileFromURL = "photo%2FB%_2.jpeg"
Question:
Is there a way I can combine both regular expressions?
I've tried using capture groups, but haven't been able to produce a working solution.
From my comment
You can use a lookahead to find the "?" and use [^/] to match any non-slash characters.
/[^/]+(?=\?)/
To remove the dependency on the URL needing a "?", you can make the lookahead match a question mark or the end of line indicator (represented by $), but make sure the first glob is non-greedy.
/[^/]+?(?=\?|$)/
You don't have to use regex, you can just use split and substr.
var str = "https://cdnstorage.api.com/v0/b/my-app.com/o/photo%2FB%_2.jpeg?alt=media&token=4e32-a1a2-c48e6c91a2ba".split("?")[0];
var fileName = temp.substr(temp.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
but if regex is important to you, then:
str.match(/[^?]*\/([^?]+)/)[1]
The code using the substring method would look like the following -
var fileFromURL = urlString.substring(urlString.lastIndexOf('/') + 1, urlString.lastIndexOf('?'))
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!
I'm trying to find a quick way to get an ID from a url like this in javascript or jquery?

plus.google.com/115025207826515678661
want to just get 115025207826515678661 from the URL
Is there a sure way to always get the ID regardless of the way its typed?
You could use this javascript which works on all the urls you posted:
var url, patt, matches, id;
url = 'https://plus.google.com/115025207826515678661/posts';
patt = /\/(\d+)(?:\/|$)/
matches = patt.exec(url);
id = matches[1];
Use the following regular expression to extract the value:
\/([0-9]+)\/?
Tested on all of your input strings and it worked on each.
The first and only group will have the number you're looking for
var pos=url.indexOf('com').
var str1=url.substr(pos+3,21);
if the 21 is not constant, then just check the indexOf('/') in the substr:
var pos=url.indexOf('com').
var str1=url.substr(pos+3);
pos=str1.indexOf('/');
var str2=str1.substr(0,pos);
alert(str2);
or, use some regexp magic as was written in a different answer here.
I believe you could create a new string, and then loop through the URL string, and copy any numbers into the new string, especially if the URLs never have other numerical characters.
Basically, stripping all but numerical characters.

That above is what I want to search for.
I want to get h= and t= from that URL, or just get the entire url in href=""
How would I do this with regex?
You should be able to get the href with:
var array_of_matches = str.match(/href="([^"]*")/g)
Look for 'href="' then start a capture group of all non-double-quote characters, until it ends with a final doublequote. You can pull out the query arguments using more groups inside that group.
Look at this javascript regex tutorial. And the global flag to get the array of matches described in the string regex api.
This should return both h and t values:
logout.php\?h=(\w+)&t=(\w+)
/href="[^"]+"/g
