Preserved Topic: string manipulation? (Page 1 of 1)

hi all!

i´ve gat a string like this:

var xxx = "c:\xxx\yyy.html";

now i want to manipulate this string, so that i only got the filename in my var xxx. how can i do this in js?(in php it´s pretty easy, but in js?)

p.s.: i used the search to find an old topic about this problem, but didn´t find anything. but maybe there is one.(mrmax?);-)

bloody netscape, the last one doesn't work in netscape...

try this:

<script language="JavaScript">

<!--

  var xxx = "c:\\xxx\\yyy.html";

  xxx = xxx.substr(xxx.lastIndexOf('\\')+1);

  alert(xxx);

//-->

</script>

thx! your code worked fine!
