Is there a way in asp to retrieve part of the URL and use it

say the url was

http://localhost/site/craig/default.asp
or
http://localhost/site/craig/test.asp
or
http://localhost/site/craig/roger.asp?dan=1

is there anyway of retrieving the word craig so to use it in the page, I just want the word Craig

This is because i could have other addresses that are for example

http://localhost/site/jon/default.asp
or
http://localhost/site/jon/test.asp
or
http://localhost/site/jon/roger.asp

where i need to retrieve the word jon

at the moment i use the code

strURL = Replace(Request.ServerVariables("URL"), "/default.asp", "")

    intStart = instrRev(strURL, "/") + 1
    strName = mid(strURL, intStart)

this worked fine until new pages are added ie a page that isnt default.asp

Obviously i cant use strURL = Replace(Request.ServerVariables("URL"), "/default.asp", "") because default.asp will change...

please advise

thanks

You could use:

aParts = Split(strURL, "/")

Now you will have the URL broken into an array, where:

aParts(0) = "http:"
aParts(1) = ""
aParts(2) = "localhost"
aParts(3) = "site"
aParts(4) = "craig"
aParts(5) = "default.asp"

Try:

For n = 0 to UBound(aParts)
  Response.Write "<p>Part Number " & n & " is <b>" & aParts(n) & "</b></p>"
Next
