how retrieve the last portion of the url using regex or jquery

I have a url

I need to get the planets_stars.html. How do I get that last portion alone?

Using pure javascript:

var url = "/stars/planets/usa/en/universe/planet_stars.html";
var page = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/")+1);

Edit: second parameter of substring method optional and not required in this case. So, I removed it.

Neither jQuery nor regex necessary here:

url.split('/').pop();

or just JavaScript.

var parts = url.split('/');

var lastpart = parts[parts.length -1];

You can use pop() as jmar said too, just remember that removes it from the array when you do it, so you can't use the pop method twice on the same array and get the same value.
