ASP string manipulation - keep the middle portion only 1

[artguy]

I need to find a function that would allow me to take the string from request.servervariables("URL") and keep just he part between the first and last slashes. e.g. "

http://www.domain.com/folder1/folder2/page.asp"

would keep "/folder1/folder2/" only)

I was trying to use the InStr() and Mid() but that didn't quite work.

Is there a function or server variable I've been overlooking or something?

<%
url="

http://www.domain.com/folder1/folder2/page.asp"

startc= instr(url,"/")
endc = instrrev(url,"/")
lengthc= endc-startc
stringc= mid(url,startc,lengthc+1)
response.write stringc
%>

instrrev!!!! That's exactly what I was looking for. I thought there had to be a way to find that out!!!

Thank you very much for your time!

I've been going through a bunch of junk in web sites for a couple hours in search of a function like that. Apparently, I wasn't searching properly in Google. Then it dawned on me just to ask someone here. Sure enough, in less than 5 minutes, I had a response. I LOVE this place! Now I also love instrrev.
