javascript location search for multiple query params in url

Question

For a url such as

http://example.com/x1/x2?qp1a=val1&qp1b=val2#/y1/y2?qp2a=val1b&qp2b=val2b

location.pathname = x1/x2 and location.search = ?qp1a=val1&qp1b=val2

how to get y1/y2 and ?qp2a=val1b&qp2b=val2b USING window.location

Note: I know to solve this using reg ex and other ways, i am more interested in knowing how to get these values using window.location

@ScottMarcus i am looking for window.location helpers mainly thanks. — wallop

@ScottMarcus thats why the question in stackoverflow : ), you can still use regex, see my comment in the answer section — wallop

split actually uses an implied RegEx as its argument and is usually simpler than explicit RegEx. — Scott Marcus

location.hash gets the anchor part of a URL!

In your case it will be #/y1/y2?qp2a=val1b&qp2b=val2b

Then you can remove the leading hashtag using string.substring() and split on ? sign using string.split() in order to get the two strings - /y1/y2 and qp2a=val1b&qp2b=val2b

a simple url.split('#')[1] would provide me the same. I am already using a regular expression to match what i want i was just wondering if i could get a window.location which could provide me the pathname and qp better but hash is something that i can use to optimize slightly. thanks

btw this is what i am currently using. var hashParts = url.match(/#(\/.+)\?(.+)/i). hashPath = hashParts[1] and hashSearch = hashParts[2] jsbin.com/modagimipo/edit?html,js,console
