Replace part of URL with JavaScript

Question

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

http://website.com/test.html/post/something-else/

to this:

http://website.com/post/something-else/

Any ideas? Thanks!

@Gus: url.replace(/\/test.html([^\/]+)$/, "\/$1");, var parts = url.split('/'); var img = parts.pop().replace("test.html", ""); parts.push(img) url = parts.join("/"); — Alex

Do you only want to remove "test.html" or are there more variants? — QuentinUK

@QuentinUK: no, only "test.html". I’m redirecting every page there. — Alex

"only 'test.html'" and "redirecting every page" seem to be opposites. Which do you mean? — Gus

Use replace() function

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