Get filename from URL using JavaScript

I have a script that grabs the filename from a URL but I have a problem.

Firstly, here's what I've got so far:

var img = $('img').attr('src'),
fileName_Index = img.lastIndexOf("/") + 1,
    fileName = img.substr(fileName_Index);

If the URL was to have ?format=foo after the filename, that part is added. Is there a way to remove the last part starting with the question mark leaving just the filename?

Try adding this line to the end of your code sample:

fileName = fileName.replace(/[\#\?].*$/,''); // strips hashes, too

String.replace on MDN
