The ultimate split path, with a single regex
/**
* The ultimate split path.
* Extracts dirname, filename, extension, and trailing URL params.
* Correct handles:
* empty dirname,
* empty extension,
* random input (extracts as filename),
* multiple extensions (only extracts the last one),
* dotfiles (however, will extract extension if there is one)
* @param {string} path
* @return {Object} Object containing fields "dirname", "filename", "extension", and "params"
*/

var result = path.replace(/\\/g, "/").match(/(.*\/)?(\..*?|.*?)(\.[^.]*?)?(#.*$|\?.*$|$)/);

filename: result[2] || "",
extension: result[3] || "",
params: result[4] || ""
