Updated raddevus answer :

var loc = window.location.href;
loc = loc.lastIndexOf('/') == loc.length - 1 ? loc.substr(0, loc.length - 1) : loc.substr(0, loc.length + 1);
var targetValue = loc.substr(loc.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);

Prints last path of url as string :

test.com/path-name = path-name

test.com/path-name/ = path-name

Also,

var url = $(this).attr("href");
var part = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
