Less error-prone because not using the non-greedy subexpression and not
allowing the empty string:

/\/[^\/]+\/tabid/

to pull out only the word test2. I wont know that the word is going
to be test2 when I use the regular expressions so I need to find
everything between / and /tabid because that is the only thing that

http://test.com/test/test2/tabid/656/Default.aspx. I need to be able
to pull out only the word test2. I wont know that the word is going
to be test2 when I use the regular expressions so I need to find

<script type='text/javascript'>

var t = 'http://test.com/test/test2/tabid/656/Default.aspx';

t = t.replace(/.+\/([^\/]+)\/tabid\/.+/,'$1')

alert(t);


</script>

Say I have a url that looks something like this.
http://test.com/test/test2/tabid/656/Default.aspx. I need to be able
to pull out only the word test2. I wont know that the word is going
to be test2 when I use the regular expressions so I need to find
