The method indexOf() returns the first occurrence of a given value within the string object. It returns -1 if the value isn't found.

var result = address.indexOf('/');

This will tell index of first '/':

var a = 'asdasd/';
a.indexOf('/');

And this will tell last:

var a = 'asdasd/asfwerf/';
a.lastIndexOf('/');
