Only return a part of a string

[ptuck]

I did a search, but did not find exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to only pull the user name from the Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER"). The first 11 characters is the domain and a slash. All I want is the user name. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks,
Paul

function GetLanID()
	Dim strUser,Pos
	strUser = request.servervariables("LOGON_USER")
	pos=instr(strUser,"\")
	GetLanID=mid(strUser,pos+1)
end function

Call it like:

myVar = GetLanID()

YOu got it right there. Try this:

<%
dim sName
dim sNewName

sName = Request.ServerVariables ("LOGON_USER")

sNewName = Right(sName,(len(sName)-11))

Response.write sNewName
%>

Let me know if it works.
