thanks Rob,

My detailed question is regarding a string something like
String "ABC\Name X\Gender "
and I want to scan the string for each of the element(i.e. Name, Gender) 
and whereever Name is written in the string, I want to grab the value 
placed before the back slash and store it in a variable. same is the 
case with gender and/or with any other attribute i want to be in this 
string.

Cheers
