What I need is to be able to pull the route data out of the MVC URL. I found this solution on SO, however it doesn't suit my needs because I need access to two segments not just one:
var URL = "http://www.xzy.com/AMS/Audit/Agency/Blah";
var number = URL.match(/(\d+)$/g);
This regex code grabs the last segment "Blah". How would I grab "Agency" as well? Considering the last two segments being words.
You can use \w+ to match a word. To make sure the word is the one right before the last, you can use a lookahead: (?=\/\w+$).
var URL = "http://www.xzy.com/AMS/Audit/Agency/1A0A0A1A7A3A9A7";
var agency = URL.match(/(\w+)(?=\/\w+$)/g); // ["Agency"]
var number = URL.match(/(\w+)$/g); // ["1A0A0A1A7A3A9A7"]
You could also use RegExp#exec() to get the value as string (not an array like above):
var URL = "http://www.xzy.com/AMS/Audit/Agency/1A0A0A1A7A3A9A7";
var matches = /(\w+)\/(\w+)$/g.exec(URL);
var agency = matches[1]; // Agency
var number = matches[2]; // 1A0A0A1A7A3A9A7
Check demo jsfiddle here for both.
