Extracting data from string by splitting URL twice-CodePudding

I would like to achieve the following:

I have a URL: https://www.example.com/Place/Name.html?randomtext

I need to return "Name" only on outgoing links.

I thought it would work by doing the following:

    function() {
      if ({{outgoing link}})
      var Name= {{Click URL}};
      return Name.split("/")[2];
      return Name.split("?")[0];
    }

I already managed to get "place" by doing:

    function() {
          if ({{outgoing link}})
          var Name= {{Click URL}};
          return Name.split("/")[2];

CodePudding user response：

One way to get the filename ("Name") would be to do:

var filename = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') 1).split(".")[0]

not sure if this is what u want:

const url = 'https://www.example.com/Place/Name.html?randomtext'

 function extractSliceFromUrl() {
      return url.split("/")[4].split(".")[0];
    }

const url = 'https://www.example.com/Place/Name.html?randomtext'

 function extractSliceFromUrl() {
      return url.split("/")[4].split(".")[0];
    }
    
    console.log(extractSliceFromUrl(url))

    console.log(extractSliceFromUrl(url))
