Window Location Pathname with Multiple Directories

1.1k Views Asked by Joseph Thomas At 19 October 2024 at 21:48

I'm sure this very easy, but I am having trouble writing this path correctly. I have no problems triggering the command using:

if(window.location.pathname.match(/^\/Home-Blog/)) {$('#maincolumn').remove();}

But for another case, I need the pathname to be longer, with the following directory:

/Home-Blog/CategoryBlogID

Any way I try to insert it, it doesn't seem to work. How do I plug in the path to "CategoryBlogID"?

Thank you!

I'm not totally sure I understand your question, but if you want to match

this RegExp should do the trick:

"/Home-Blog/CategoryBlogIDs".match(/^\/Home-Blog(\/)*(CategoryBlogID)?$/)

/^ start of string

\/ a forward slash

Home-Blog the text "Home-Blog"

(\/)* a forward slash zero or more times (will also match /Home-Blog////CategoryBlogID) because of this

(CategoryBlogID)? the string "CategoryBlogID" zero or one times
