cut from string using JScript

[Christopher Brandsdal]

I have this string:

/sites/binaer/demo/fil/Winnie-the-Pooh 1024x768.jpg

If I wanted to cut everything before Winnie-the-Pooh 1024x768.jpg, how would
I do this?

In VBScript I could find the first "/" from the back of the sentence, and
cut everything before that, but I'm not shore how to do this in JScript...

The string I want to end up with is Winnie-the-Pooh 1024x768.jpg

Any idea??

Why do you want to use JScript to do this?

because the rest 550 lines of code in this .asp document is in JScript

Think it's best to use JScript in this case

t="/sites/binaer/demo/fil/Winnie-the-Pooh 1024x768.jpg"

t=t.replace(/.*\//,"")

alert(t)

Pretty much the same as VBScript.

var s = "/sites/foo/bar.jpg";
Response.Write(s.substring(s.lastIndexOf("/")+1, s.length));

So let me ask, if you're more comfortable with VBScript, why are you
continuing to use JScript... or why don't you have JScript documentation
handy?

Concisely? This will do:

"/sites/binaer/demo/fil/Winnie-the-Pooh 1024x768.jpg".split("/").pop()
-- or: strFilePathName.split("/").pop()

You'll want to see microsoft.public.scripting.jscript

I've posted a reply in that group and you may need them to help you
adapt the VBScript example that I provided.

Good question..
Im working on an JScript application which is old, and not made by me...
I have plans to convert it to VBScript, but with 50.000 lines of code, this
takes time...
But I WILL get a JScript documentation
