Well - I just spoke with the client and apparently only one directory
was going to create that problem so they're just going to rename the
directory. I guess I should have tried that solution first. However, is
there a way to read the string up to the point where the numbers start?
For example, pull "AS" out of "ASxxxxx" and "MAS" out of "MASxxxxx"? I
looked through the string functions and didn't really see anything to
promising. Something like is_letter() would be cool :) Thanks,
Joe
