I have a user name that comes in like this domain\user123. I need to remove domain\ and on have the username. I have tried the following:

var input = "domain\user123";

var str =  input.replace(/\\\//g, '')

and

var input = "domain\user123";

var str = input.replace('\\', '');

and

var input = "domain\user123";

var str = input.split('\\', '');

All come back with the backslash removed, but also the character after the backslash domainser123.

I need it to look like this user123.

Remove the domain and the \

var input = "thisIsTheDomain\\user123";

var str = input.replace(/.*\\/, '');

console.log(str);

Alternatively, take the second index [1] of the .split method

var input = "yetAnotherDomain\\user123";

var str = input.split('\\')[1];

console.log(str);
