Question 187839 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

How can I parse a page_path from a URL with JavaScript?

I want to parse the 2 first elements of a URL with JavaScript.

For ex.

url.de/de/de/produkte/

I want to parse de/de, I have following code

function(){
  var path={{Page Path}};
  return path.match(/^/(w+)(?:/|$)/)[1]
}

but the result is just de, hope for a easy solution.

I’ve tried a inline JavaScript

    Parenthesis surrounding expression is looking for: 2 characters of a-z then / then 2 characters again.

    function () { 
  var path={{Page Path}}; 

  // output of path.match: `["/de/de/","de/de"]` 
  // and return 2nd item
  return path.match(//([a-zA-Z]{2}/[a-zA-Z]{2})//)[1];
}

    If you are looking for an alternative way without using pregmatch you can try something like this to parse the first to parts of the URL. For this answer its necessary for the searched string to be on the same position every time.

    let url = 'test.com/de/de/asdf/123';

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

let languageCodes = parts[1] + '/' + parts[2];

    If you want to use pregmatch try something like this [a-z]{2}/[a-z]{2}/ and replace the last ‘/’ with .replace(‘/’,”); to get rid of it.

    The Numbers in curly brackets are for the length of the searched part so if its only country codes it should be fine with sticking with 2.
