var path = 'example.com/user/john/red'
path.substr(0, path.lastIndexOf("/"))
I got example.com/user/john
how to get only example.com/user/? means lastSecondIndexOf, but there's no such method.

I think you mean you want `example.com/user` as output? – Steven Moseley Oct 22 '15 at 02:54

you can pass an int as second argument to `lastIndexOf()` – Ramanlfc Oct 22 '15 at 02:55

@Ramanlfc that's just the starting position to start looking from. – David Boskovic Oct 22 '15 at 02:57

you may use like `var path = 'example.com/user/john/red' var path2 = path.substr(0, path.lastIndexOf("/")) var path3 = path2.substr(0, path.lastIndexOf("/"))` – PK20 Oct 22 '15 at 02:57

The function .lastIndexOf takes a second parameter for fromIndex, and you could use the last index of the slash in the parameter:
path.substr(0, path.lastIndexOf("/",path.lastIndexOf("/")-1));
