You know... a better solution than what I've got, which is to only deal with as many as two periods in a filename, is needed. The current solution leaves some gaps if a user decides to user several periods as delimiters. And stripping out the periods, except for the one before the extension might cause name conflicts.
Todd... what would be the regex for deleting just the last period in a filename plux the extension?

Treat the string as a list using the "." as a delimiter (e.g.: <cfset > > name = listFirst(varname,'.')> ) > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
