Convert auth_user to Lower Case & Remove Domain Name

[miamibmw]

Can anyone help me. I have a small set of code that gets the windows user name & sets it into a URL. The URL then passes that to a browser login & logs my users in (this already works). The small problem I am having is I need to convert the username to Lower case & strip out the doamin name, so that I end up with just the raw lowercase indows username. This is what I have so far. I am sure its just my syntax as I have done this before but it was a long time ago.

username=<%Response.Write(Request.ServerVariables("AUTH_USER"))%>">

convert auth_user to lower case & remove domain name

LCASE() will convert a string to lower case.
MID() will pull a substring out of a string.
INSTR() will find the index of the backslash character in the string.

Give it a shot and post back what you get.

The other thing that's throwing you off is the response
.Write. That prints the text to the screen, that doesn't help you for a variable assignment. Take out the response.write and the code delimiters, you are already in code so those are no good

username=request.servervariables("auth_user")

rabbit is right, you then need a combination of lcase() and something to whittle the string down. I personally would use instr() (to find the position of the @ or \) and right(str, n) (Gives you the right-most n characters of the string).
