thanks Rob, and all for your response

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.

Your help required.
cheers
