RegEx/Javascript: How to get the parameter from URL?

Question

Hi i have this kind of URLs

www.example.com/registration/star/xx223x/xxxx67x/xx
www.example.com/registration/star-mega/x45xx/xxxrfxx/xx
www.example.com/registration/manager/xxx34xx/xx
www.example.com/registration/pro/xxxxx/xxx

How can i using javascript and RegEx get the parameter after /registration/ and before the next / into variable? (star, star-mega, manager, pro)

Have you made any kind of attempt at all? Where are you stuck? Right now this reads a lot like "write this for me." — T.J. Crowder, Feb 19 '14 at 08:48

@Hanky웃Panky: Note that the OP doesn't have a query string. — Felix Kling, Feb 19 '14 at 08:51
Well it is the different question, and i think it will be useful for a lot of people — Ilya Libin, Feb 19 '14 at 08:55
@Hanky웃Panky actually if you have nothing to say, you better move on another question — Ilya Libin, Feb 19 '14 at 08:59
@Hanky웃Panky I can wait without the white noise that you do. But i've got the answer. Thank you :) — Ilya Libin, Feb 19 '14 at 09:08

How about the following regex: www\.example\.com\/registration\/([^\/]+)? see http://regex101.com/r/xS8zZ6

To expand on the awesome answer by Uri Y, here is how you use it in JavaScript:

var url = 'www.example.com/registration/star-mega/x45xx/xxxrfxx/xx';
var result = url.match('\/registration\/([^\/]+)');
alert(result[1]);
