What's the best way to grab the number in this url string with jQuery or vanilla javascript?

"/o开发者_JS百科rganizations/1/media/videos/11"

I would like to just grab that 1 . Not sure how to exactly do that.

Any ideas?

---

just split the location.pathname and grab that index. this is vanilla javascript

var num = window.location.pathname.split("/")[2]

---

var myString = "/organizations/1/media/videos/11";
var myArr = myString.split('/');
alert(myArr[2]);

That should be sufficient, but it definitely depends on what the pattern of your URLs will be.

Regular Expression Solution:

var str = "/organizations/1/media/videos/11";

var re = /\/(\d+)\//;
var num = null;

var data = str.match(re);
if(data){
  num = parseInt( data[1], 10 );
}

alert(num);
