Extract the href and then split it into it's various sections
var href = some selector;
hrefSections = href.split("/");
If there are no query string parameters you have the file name in the
last array element:
var fileName = hrefSections[hrefSections.length - 1];
Now do your other selector and you can compare the whole file name and
not just the end.
