You can try anchorObject.pathname or anchorObject.href.match(/\/([^/]+)$/)[1] if you just want the last path.
You still need to get the anchorObject from the DOM.
const parser = new DOMParser();
const elm = parser.parseFromString('<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/posts"></a>', 'text/html');
const anchorObject = elm.getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
And voilà.

Thanks, I'm able to fetch the string document.getElementsByTagName('a')[19].innerHTML;
If you are not sure of what the length of the variable you're looking for is, you can use this syntax.
let string = '<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/ABC"> </a>';
console.log(string.split('"')[1].split('/')[3]);
If you know what you're looking for ( for Example: ABC ) you can find index of ABC, and splice the string.
let variable = 'ABC'
console.log(string.substr(string.search("ABC"), variable.length))
Breakdown the string until you get the variable.
