Parsing Params out of a URL in Angular

I am trying to track certain metrics in google analytics, but I only want to grab the params, remove sensitive information and send them off as a comma separated string. Such that:

this=me&that=you

would be fired off to ga as:

this,that

I have tried using Angular's native URL parser but I think I may need something more complex and I am not versed enough in REGEX to yank these out simply. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can replace all = + values with commas, and then right-trim the final comma (if any) with regexps and replace in JS like this:

var str = "this=me&that=you";
var result = str.replace(/=[^&]+(?:&|$)/g, ',').replace(/,$/,'');
document.getElementById("r").innerHTML = result;
<div id="r"/>
