Or could be done with:

var str = "\\\\Desk-7\\e\\cars\\car1.jpg";
var name = str.slice(str.lastIndexOf("\\") + 1);

NOTE: str should be: var str = "\\\\Desk-7\\e\\cars\\car1.jpg"; if hardcoded in code

var car1 = str.split('\\').pop();

Can be done by 

function basename(path) {
 return path.replace(/\\/g,'/').replace( /.*\//, '' );
}
