Lets say I have a string like "www.ssss.com/images/theimage.jpg"
I want to parse the string and just return the: theimage.jpg

Dim mystring As String = "www.ssss.com/images/theimage.jpg"
Dim newString As String = mystring.Substring(mystring.LastIndexOf("/") +
1S, mystring.Length - mystring.LastIndexOf("/") - 1S)
Dim newString As String = mystring.Substring(mystring.LastIndexOf("/") +
1S, mystring.Length - mystring.LastIndexOf("/") - 1S)

Hi Herfried,
Did not see it, this answer it not completly the right one, that I see the
last time seldom from you.
With "substring", better is String.lastIndexOf

Hi Tim,
I did/do this also often, but the substring is overloaded.
The lenght is not necessary when it is thru the end.
Dim newString As String = mystring.Substring(mystring.LastIndexOf("/")+1)
Just as addition, nothing wrong with your solution.

DaveF,
In addition to the other comments.
If you are parsing (file system) Paths I would recommend the functions in
System.IO.Path, such as:
Dim fullPath As String = "www.ssss.com/images/theimage.jpg"
Dim fileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fullPath)
If you are parsing URLs I would recommend the System.Uri class, such as:
Dim fullPath As String = "http://www.ssss.com/images/theimage.jpg?x=1"
Dim uri As New System.Uri(fullPath)
Dim fileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(uri.AbsolutePath)
Hope this helps
Jay
