Jerry... You hit upon something I thought about after I posted my solution. Yes, there definitely could be more than one period, since these are user-uploaded images.
I'll modify my code to use: #listdeleteat(file,listlast(file.'.'),'.')> Now, I'm assuming that the code above will work if there's only one period, too, right? (I'll test it shortly after lunch!) And while I'm at it, I should probably just strip out any periods which might exist in the name beyond two. I thought about asking the user to do it with an error message, but the less I ask these users to do, the better! ;o) Rick PS - I just can't get over how great it is to have some image functions! > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 12:04 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: How do I get the characters after the last period in a string? > > Use the list functions, with the period as the delimiter > > could there be more than one period?
