your code should be replacing trailing strings. but if you're looking to replace multiple spaces with a single dash, you'll need a regex. <cfset dirname = rereplace(string, '[[:space:]]+', '-', 'all') /> the + means "one or more" (and as with your code, should also handle trailing spaces). -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
