I have the following url:
http://website.com/testing/test2/
I want to remove the text between the last two slashes so this would produce:
http://website.com/testing/

Not sure if it is the best solution but it is simple and working:
var s = 'http://website.com/testing/test2/';
var a = s.split('/');
s = s.replace(a[a.length-2] + '/', '');
alert(s);`

The JS fiddle is still alerting the whole URL.
Here we get the last slash index in the string and subsctring from beginning to the slash index
text = text.substring(0, text.lastIndexOf("/")
that will result:
"http://website.com/testing/test2" // text
then did the same again get the last slach index and substring to this index + 1 and the +1 to include the slash again in the substring
text = text.substring(0, text.lastIndexOf("/")+1)
this will result:
"http://website.com/testing/" // text
do it in 1 line:
text = "http://website.com/testing/test2/"
text = text.substring(0, text.substring(0, text.lastIndexOf("/")).lastIndexOf("/")+1)

And...? Please add an explanation as to why this is the solution.
var url = 'http://website.com/testing/test2/', //URL to convert
lastSlash = url.lastIndexOf('/'), //Find the last '/'
middleUrl = url.substring(0,lastSlash); //Make a new string without the last '/'
lastSlash = middleUrl.lastIndexOf('/'); //Find the last '/' in the new string (the second last '/' in the old string)
var newUrl = middleUrl.substring(0,lastSlash); //Make a new string that removes the '/' and everything after it
alert(newUrl); //Alert the new URL, ready for useThis works.

It might not be the fastest, but it definitely works.
You can do something like this:
var missingLast = url.substring(0, url.substring(0, url.length - 1).lastIndexOf('/'));
This will ignore the last slash first, then it will ignore the second to last slash.
NOTE: If you want to keep the last slash just add one to lastIndexOf like so:
var missingLast = url.substring(0, url.substring(0, url.length - 1).lastIndexOf('/')+1);

try something like this,
var url = 'http://website.com/testing/test2/';
var arr = url.split('/');
var lastWord = arr[arr.length-2];
var newUrl = url.substring(0, url.length-lastWord.length-1);
alert(newUrl);
