JavaScript getting filename without extension located in different folder

I would like to define a variable, which will include my filename only without any extension. The example of my file is linked to the index.html page and it looks like this:

   <script src="js/20231014.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="js/20211204.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="js/20230423.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  • about 50 more files like these

so I want in my variable only the "20231014" extracted.

I found some nice solutions here:

How to get the file name from a full path using JavaScript?

from where I tried:

    var filename = fullPath.replace(/^.*[\\\/]/, '')

but I got an error, that fullPath is not defined. That has led me to this link,

where I tried:

   var fullPath = FileSystemEntry.fullPath;

but unfortunately, the error just changed, that fileSystemEntry is not defined.

My another approach was:

   var fileurl = '/js/'.replace(/\.[^.]+$/, '')

where I got nothing

and finally

var fileurl = window.location.pathname;

where I got just index.html instead

Is there any swift solution for extracting the given filename from the link based in the other directory?

This code will do what you're after.

  • First we find the position of the last / character appearing in the file-path.
  • Then we get the string that appears after the last / in the path.
  • Next we replace the '.js' part with nothing.

I've only performed a single check. That avoids printing an empty string for the script element that does all the work, since it's in the document and doen's have a source.

You'll need to add error-checking before this code is any good.

<head>
  <script src="js/20231014.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="js/20211204.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="js/20230423.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script>
    "use strict";
    window.addEventListener('load', onLoad, false);

    function onLoad(evt) {
      let scripts = document.querySelectorAll('script');
      scripts.forEach(scr => {
        if (scr.src != '') {
          let slashPos = scr.src.lastIndexOf('/');
          let filename = scr.src.slice(slashPos + 1);
          filename = filename.replace('.js', '');
          console.log(filename);
        }
      });
    }
  </script>
</head>
