For this snippet to work, you have to replace() # with ? to make a valid SearchParam:

var url_string = "http://example.com/aus/#pg=0"; //window.location.href
var url = new URL(url_string.replace('#', '?'));
var pg = url.searchParams.get("pg");
console.log(pg);

Why not simply read the `hash` property? – Nico Haase May 19 '20 at 06:38
I know `window.location.hash` this could be the solution, but my snippet because he is asking why it not working, also this can be a string from `` tag not a `URL` – ROOT May 19 '20 at 06:41
If the string would come from a link, the same `hash` property applies. Randomly replacing stuff in the URL might cause problems, especially if the URL already contained a query string – Nico Haase May 19 '20 at 06:42
@NicoHaase, I agree with you. got the point. – ROOT May 19 '20 at 06:43
