Usng simple regex

var str = "localhost/sample/message/invitation/create/email";

Splitting on a regex that matches spaces or hyphens and taking the last element

var lw = function(v) {
  return (""+v).replace(/[\s-]+$/,'').split(/[\s-]/).pop();
};
lw('This is a test.'); // returns 'test.'
lw('localhost/sample/message/invitation/create/email,'); // returns 'email,'
