I have a string such as:

http://www.google.com/#anchor-name

and I want to be able to get

http://www.google.com/

and

anchor-name

into variables? How do I do it geniuses of the stackoverflow community?

  • @Bojangles - However, splitting an URL into it's parts is something different. – adeneo Aug 19 '14 at 14:39
  • @adeneo True, and this is somewhat of an XY Problem question, but if all the OP wants to do is split on a `#`, the dupe I linked is correct. If they want to parse the URL further then a parsing library is the best way to go. Either way this question is still a dupe – Bojangles Aug 19 '14 at 14:52

In your situation

var str = "http://www.google.com/#anchor-name";
var parts = str.split('#');
console.log(parts)//["http://www.google.com/","anchor-name"]

Try 

var parts = str.split('#');
var left = parts[0], right = parts[1];
