How to get a certain part of an URL

How to get a certain part of an URL

Hi.

I have a little problem and I hope that you can help.

I need to get the path of the URL except for the first slash "/".

Now if I use window.location.pathname I get an output like this: /about/about/9081ae1b02/

That is almost right but I need to get rid of the first slash (marked in red) so I get: about/about/9081ae1b02/

Any suggestions on how to achieve that?

Thanks.
