Grab Value from URL 1

[dontpunchme]

Hi,

I am trying grab a value that appears in a URL string. I am trying to get the "add" that appears after the "Submit=".

The script I have below works when there are no extra parameters.

output: add

but once you add in the extras "&taco&pizza" it spits out this.

output: add&taco

Also if I add parameters before the "Submit=", the output gets worse.

<script language="JavaScript">
var str = "

http://www.blahblah.com?monkey&Submit=add&taco&pizza"

var theleft = str.indexOf("Submit=") + 6;
var theright = str.lastIndexOf("&");
var total = (str.substring(theleft, theright));
document.write("output: ",total);
</script>

I think I may be going about this the wrong way.

Thanks for any quidance.

You're almost there:

var str = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.blahblah.com?monkey&;Submit=add&taco&pizza";[/URL]
var tempStr = str.substr(str.indexOf("Submit=") + 7);
var total = tempStr.substr(0, tempStr.indexOf("&"));
alert("output: " + total);

Hope this helps,
Dan
