我刚刚意识到，对p4bl0的回答发表评论是不够的，尽管Tom的回答显然解决了问题:

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

如果你正在处理web url，你可以使用:

function getExt(filepath){
     return filepath.split("?")[0].split("#")[0].split('.').pop();
}

getExt("../js/logic.v2.min.js") // js
getExt("http://example.net/site/page.php?id=16548") // php
getExt("http://example.net/site/page.html#welcome.to.me") // html
getExt("c:\\logs\\yesterday.log"); // log

演示:https://jsfiddle.net/squadjot/q5ard4fj/

在node.js中，这可以通过以下代码实现:

var file1 ="50.xsl";
var path = require('path');
console.log(path.parse(file1).name);

fetchFileExtention(fileName) {
    return fileName.slice((fileName.lastIndexOf(".") - 1 >>> 0) + 2);
}

我刚刚意识到，对p4bl0的回答发表评论是不够的，尽管Tom的回答显然解决了问题:

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

Test

注意，在没有查询的情况下，片段可能仍然存在。
