SORRY EVERYONE - my original question was phrased horribly. Yes, I was trying to parse the value out of a string and not a "URL variable" as I had originally asked.
Sorry for the title and sorry for the unclear choice of wording. Thanks for all your help - and also confirming how to output a URL variable!!! Sometimes we need affirmation on the simple things ;o) Ben, yours worked - thanks dewd.
