hmm... i guess i forgot to paste in the rest of the code... here it is in all its ugly gory:
<cfset filename = rereplace(left(filename, len(filename)-len(listlast(filename, "."))-1), "\W", "", "all") & "." & listlast(filename, ".")> it may be "eugh" and "ugly!", but it's a one-liner and takes care of . inside filenames and any file extension length :) if you still feel "eugh" about that one, how about this one: <cfset filename = reverse(rereplace(listrest(reverse(filename), "."), "\W", "", "all")) & "." & listlast(filename, ".")> since this one is a tad bit shorter, will you consider it, maybe, just "ugly" or just "eugh"? :) or how about this rereplace-only one: <cfset filename = rereplace(rereplace(filename, "(.+?)(\.[^.]*$|$)", "\1"), "\W", "", "all") & rereplace(filename, "(.+?)(\.[^.]*$|$)", "\2")> (filename splitting regex courtesy of http://www.movingtofreedom.org/2008/04/01/regex-match-filename-base-and-extension/) :P Azadi Saryev Sabai-dee.com http://www.sabai-dee.com/ Peter Boughton wrote: >> better then just do something like >> >> rereplace(left(filename, len(filename)-len(listlast(filename, ".")-1), >> "\W", "", "all") >> > > Eugh.
