Stripping characters...

I'm trying to strip the characters from a text box...
but I only know how to apply it to text...
for example..

string fname = @dotnet.itags.org."*\John Doe";
string pattern = @dotnet.itags.org."^.*\\";
string name = Regex.Replace(fname, pattern," ");

but how can i do it for a passed variable...
like @dotnet.itags.org.Request.Form["fname"];

string fname = @dotnet.itags.org.Request.Form["fname"];
string pattern = @dotnet.itags.org."^.*\\";
string name = Regex.Replace(fname, pattern," ");
