function file_get_ext(filename)
    {
    return typeof filename != "undefined" ? filename.substring(filename.lastIndexOf(".")+1, filename.length).toLowerCase() : false;
    }

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

试试这个:

function getFileExtension(filename) {
  var fileinput = document.getElementById(filename);
  if (!fileinput)
    return "";
  var filename = fileinput.value;
  if (filename.length == 0)
    return "";
  var dot = filename.lastIndexOf(".");
  if (dot == -1)
    return "";
  var extension = filename.substr(dot, filename.length);
  return extension;
}

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。

0的警告。

return filename.replace(/\.([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$/, "$1");

编辑:奇怪的是(或者可能不是)替换方法的第二个参数中的$1似乎不工作…对不起。

更新编辑:自从这个问题最初发布以来，很多事情都发生了变化——wallacer修改后的答案中有很多非常好的信息，VisioN也有很好的细分

编辑:因为这是公认的答案;Wallacer的回答确实好得多:

return filename.split('.').pop();

我以前的回答是:

return /[^.]+$/.exec(filename);

应该这么做。

编辑:在回应PhiLho的评论时，可以这样说:

return (/[.]/.exec(filename)) ? /[^.]+$/.exec(filename) : undefined;
