Remove 3 leading leters from a variable

[Blakeseven]

I have a var with that contains something like this : f:\temp\testI want to strip the first 3 letters so the var looks like this : temp\test

How can I do this in JS

Thanks for the help....

str = "f:\temp\test\"

newStr = str.subStr(2)

Maybe this...

newStr = str.substring(2)

Adam
while(woman.width>woman.height && wallet.value>0){beer++;vision.blur()};

oopps typo

str = "f:\temp\test\"

newStr = str.substr(2)

or as adam101 says

newStr = str.substring(2)

both work

Of course if you tried to run the code the way it is, you'd get an error because it would think the back-slashes are escaping the end quote. But I'm guessing Blakeseven has already accounted for that. If not, you can escape the back-slashes like this:
str="f:\\temp\\test\\"
str=str.substring(3)
