How to parse web browser address using javascript and window.location?

Question

I am unable to find the specific value in the address bar.

var str = window.location;
//var str = "http://www.website.com/78203/";

var x = str.search(/78203/i);

alert(x);

The code above does not return anything and actually kills anything (indicates an error), but nothing rushes to the console.

If you delete a comment, it works fine, returning a value greater than -1 (which means that it found something).

This is obviously something that I misunderstand, can someone help me?

Answer 1

You should use window.location.hrefit because it window.locationis an object, not a string, and has a property searchthat contains the portion of the URL that follows? character including? symbol.

var str = window.location.href;

var x = str.search(/78203/i);

String.indexOf:

var str = window.location.href;

var x = str.indexOf('78203');

( ), , -1.
