Have a look at `split`, `pop` and `join` methods, then try something. – Tigger Oct 29 '16 at 23:32

`"www.example.com/hi/test/home.html".substring(0,url.lastIndexOf("/")+1);` – Mamdouh Saeed Oct 29 '16 at 23:41

You can use substring and lastIndexOf:
a = "www.example.com/hi/test/home.html";
b = a.substr(0, a.lastIndexOf('/'));
// b = www.example.com/hi/test
