Benchmark: Remove last item from / separated string

Script Preparation code:

var str = 'lorem/ipsum/dolor/sit/amet/consectetur/adipiscing/elit/sed/do/eiusmod/tempor/incididunt/ut/labore/et/dolore/magna/aliqua/ut/enim/ad/minim/veniam/quis/nostrud/exercitation/ullamco/laboris/nisi/ut/aliquip/ex/ea/commodo/consequat/duis/aute/irure/dolor/in/reprehenderit/in/voluptate/velit/esse/cillum/dolore/eu/fugiat/nulla/pariatur/excepteur/sint/occaecat/cupidatat/non/proident/sunt/in/culpa/qui/officia/deserunt/mollit/anim/id/est/laborum/base/resource/collection/video-collection'

Tests:

With Regexp
str.replace(/\/[^/]*$/, '')
With Regexp of smaller scope
str.replace(/\/[a-z-]*$/, '')
With for-loop
var index = -1; for (var i = str.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) { if (str[i] === '/') { i = index; break; } } str.substring(0, index);
With for-loop (initialized length)
var index = -1; lastIndex = str.length - 1; for (var i = lastIndex; i > -1; i--) { if (str[i] === '/') { i = index; break; } } str.substring(0, index);
With lastIndexOf and substring
str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf('/'))
With lastIndexOf and slice
str.slice(0, str.lastIndexOf('/'))
With split, slice, join
str.split('/').slice(0, -1).join('/')
With split, pop, join
var a = str.split('/') a.pop() a.join('/')
