For my next stuff I needed the Javascript equivalents of PHP functions basename() and dirname(). Nothing genius:
JAVASCRIPT:
-
function basename(path) {
-
return path.replace(/\\/g,'/').replace( /.*\//, '' );
-
}
-
-
function dirname(path) {
-
return path.replace(/\\/g,'/').replace(/\/[^\/]*$/, '');;
-
}
It obviously supports paths like /home/ozh/stuff.php, http://site.com/file.ext or double backslashed Win32 paths such as C:\\dir\\document.txt.
Edit: Mister Ze in comments points out to PHP.JS, an ongoing project aiming to port PHP to Javascript. Some really neat stuff there.

You can find many implementation of php functions in javascript here:

basename() is implemented in php.JS project but no dirname(), propose your code :)
