Remove name from url query using regular expression

Question

How can I remove the " /page/2/ " from the url using a regular expression in javascript. Where the 2 can be any number ie. /page/ 5 /. but "page" and the slashes will be consistently there.

mydomain.com/posts/page/2/

Answer 1

Use this pattern : (.*)[^\\/]*\\/[^\\/]*\\/[^\\/]*\\/$

Full code :

var string = 'mydomain.com/posts/page/2/';
var result = /(.*)[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/[^\/]*\/$/.exec(string);
var wantedPath = result[1];

note : page can be other thing as your number value.

Please, valid the answer to close your question if it is correct.

string = string.replace(/\/page\/\d+\//, "");
