How do I get rid of everything, every string before a specified word in jquery?

Issue

I'm trying to do a simple string replace in jquery but it seems to be more than just a simple code. In mygallery have this image link (note the 2x ../)

var imgName= '../../appscripts/imgs/pic_library/burn.jpg';

In browsegallery I have something like this:

var imgName ='../../../../../appscripts/imgs/pic_library/burn.jpg';

and sometimes depending on where do I get the image source from, it can be like this

var imgName = '../appscripts/imgs/pic_library/burn.jpg';

What I'm trying to do is, to get rid of all of those '../', and to gain the imgName like this:

'appscripts/imgs/pic_library/burn.jpg';

So this way I can get the right directory for my mobile app.

Can anyone help me on how to get rid of all those (without even counting) '../'?

Best Regards!

Solution

Using the replace method of a string you can remove all cases of the ../

var imgPath = '../../../../../appscripts/imgs/pic_library/burn.jpg';
var imgName = imgPath.replace(/\.\.\//g, '');
console.log(imgName);
