You can try with the below code

//Your url
var url = "http://mysite.com/gb/index.aspx";
//Get the language code
var countrycode = /com\/([^\/]+)/.exec(url)[1];

thanks for your code

var url = "http://mysite.com/gb/index.aspx";
//Get the language code
var countrycode = /com\/([^\/]+)/.exec(url)[1];
alert(countrycode);

i test your code it works but when i run my site from VS2013 IDE then url looks like http://localhost:2020/gb/index.aspx and when browser the same site from local iis then url look like http://mysite:2020/gb/index.aspx

so i want js code in such a way whatever my url i want to extract country code.

so my possible url would be

http://mysite.com/gb/index.aspx

http://localhost:2020/gb/index.aspx

http://mysite:2020/gb/index.aspx

so please give me a rectified version of code which works fine for above 3 url.

thanks
