Default How to get rest of characters after last certain character?

Hi All,


e.g. In cell A1 there is a string = "dummy1\dummy3\cat\test"

In cell B1 I want result = "test"

In pseudo code:

test = functionX("dummy1\dummy3\cat\test"; "\" )

I don't want write visual basic code just use normal excel functions.

Is it possible to write this kind of function?
