Do you mean: I have a variable containing a filename and a variable containing an arbitrary extension and I need to see whether the filename ends in that extension? (use right()) Or: I have a variable containing a filename and I need to find out what "dot-plus-three-letter" extension it has? (use right()) Or: I have a variable containing a filename and I need to find out what, if any, extension it has?

Yes, but it's always good to have an internal sanity check before immediately diving into using listXxx() functions on strings... I see a lot of listGetAt() calls in code and that function is almost never the right way to do things! -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 5 invites to give away!
