How to parse a string?

[mcameron]

I have a string in the HTML, and it looks like this: "DOMAIN\username". HOw can i break down this string so that i will end up with just "username". Also I am thinking of adding to that string so it will look something like this: "username@somedomain.com". Is it possible to do? :confused: I am not too sharp at html-ing, so any help would be greatly apreciated.
Thank you in advance.

This isn't HTML. It will either take Javascript on the browser or, better, server side language manipulation.

The Javascript method would be as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
var input = "DOMAIN\\username";
document.write(input + "<br>");
output = input.substr(input.indexOf("\\")+1);
document.write(output);
</script>
(note: backslashes must be escaped, or JS will choke)

But like Ray said, something server side would probably work better. The same code in PHP would be

<?php
$input = "DOMAIN\username";
echo $input . "<br>";
$output = substr($input,strpos($input,"\\")+1);
echo $output . "<br>";
?>
