I have a string, for example testserver\sho007, how do I use jQuery to return only sho007?

You can do it simply with javascript
var my_string="testserver\sho007";
var left_side=my_string.split("\\")[0];
var right_side=my_string.split("\\")[1];
edited to add the double slash as Eric mentioned

Noticing how markdown is confused by "\", I'm curious if JavaScript would understand it, or if it should be
my_string.split("\\")[1]?

Yes, you need the two slashes to make it work even in the assignment. In this case even the assignment will ignore the slash.
You may use
text.substring(fromindex,toindex)

Use Regular Expressions if you are sure that the text you want is going to be after the slash.

Or maybe just
string.split('\')?split the string using "\" and get the position [1], always start with [0]
exp:
html:
<a class='test'>testserver\sho007</a>
js:
$(document).ready(function(){
var a = $(".test").text();
var aResult = a.split("\\")[1];
});
testserver = [0]
sho007 = [1]
