Is there a good way to return the last index of "\"?

ex:
var myFileString=document.getElementById("resumeFile".value
var myFile=myFileString.lastIndexOf("\"

--->When I do it this way I get an unterminated string

var myFile=myFileString.lastIndexOf(""\""

--->When I do it this way I get an invalid character at ....

I'm trying to strip a file name out of a full path so I can attach it to an email.

Try:

var myFile=myFileString.lastIndexOf("\\";
