var filetypeArray = (file.type).split("/");
var filetype = filetypeArray[1];

在我看来，这是一个更好的方法。

function getExt(filename)
{
    var ext = filename.split('.').pop();
    if(ext == filename) return "";
    return ext;
}

Wallacer的回答很好，但还需要再检查一下。

如果文件没有扩展名，它将使用filename作为扩展名，这是不好的。

试试这个:

return ( filename.indexOf('.') > 0 ) ? filename.split('.').pop().toLowerCase() : 'undefined';

var parts = filename.split('.');
return parts[parts.length-1];

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
};

注意，在没有查询的情况下，片段可能仍然存在。

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