var file = "hello.txt";
var ext = (function(file, lio) { 
  return lio === -1 ? undefined : file.substring(lio+1); 
})(file, file.lastIndexOf("."));

// hello.txt -> txt
// hello.dolly.txt -> txt
// hello -> undefined
// .hello -> hello

这个简单的解决方案

function extension(filename) {
  var r = /.+\.(.+)$/.exec(filename);
  return r ? r[1] : null;
}

测试

/* tests */ test('cat.gif', 'gif'); test('main.c', 'c'); test('file.with.multiple.dots.zip', 'zip'); test('.htaccess', null); test('noextension.', null); test('noextension', null); test('', null); // test utility function function test(input, expect) { var result = extension(input); if (result === expect) console.log(result, input); else console.error(result, input); } function extension(filename) { var r = /.+\.(.+)$/.exec(filename); return r ? r[1] : null; }

Code

/**
 * Extract file extension from URL.
 * @param {String} url
 * @returns {String} File extension or empty string if no extension is present.
 */
var getFileExtension = function (url) {
    "use strict";
    if (url === null) {
        return "";
    }
    var index = url.lastIndexOf("/");
    if (index !== -1) {
        url = url.substring(index + 1); // Keep path without its segments
    }
    index = url.indexOf("?");
    if (index !== -1) {
        url = url.substring(0, index); // Remove query
    }
    index = url.indexOf("#");
    if (index !== -1) {
        url = url.substring(0, index); // Remove fragment
    }
    index = url.lastIndexOf(".");
    return index !== -1
        ? url.substring(index + 1) // Only keep file extension
        : ""; // No extension found
};

Test

注意，在没有查询的情况下，片段可能仍然存在。

"https://www.example.com:8080/segment1/segment2/page.html?foo=bar#fragment" --> "html"
"https://www.example.com:8080/segment1/segment2/page.html#fragment"         --> "html"
"https://www.example.com:8080/segment1/segment2/.htaccess?foo=bar#fragment" --> "htaccess"
"https://www.example.com:8080/segment1/segment2/page?foo=bar#fragment"      --> ""

""                                                                          --> ""
null                                                                        --> ""
"a.b.c.d"                                                                   --> "d"
".a.b"                                                                      --> "b"

JSLint

0的警告。

一行解决方案，也将考虑查询参数和url中的任何字符。

string.match(/(.*)\??/i).shift().replace(/\?.*/, '').split('.').pop()

// Example
// some.url.com/with.in/&ot.s/files/file.jpg?spec=1&.ext=jpg
// jpg

function getFileExtension(filename)
{
  var ext = /^.+\.([^.]+)$/.exec(filename);
  return ext == null ? "" : ext[1];
}

测试了

"a.b"     (=> "b") 
"a"       (=> "") 
".hidden" (=> "") 
""        (=> "") 
null      (=> "")  

也

"a.b.c.d" (=> "d")
".a.b"    (=> "b")
"a..b"    (=> "b")

如果你正在寻找一个特定的扩展名，并且知道它的长度，你可以使用substr:

var file1 = "50.xsl";

if (file1.substr(-4) == '.xsl') {
  // do something
}
