Whenever I use one, I wonder if there's a good way of getting only part of the result. For example, if I run the following code to get the folder size Code:Dim myShell As Shell Dim ShellResult As String myShell=New Shell myShell.Mode=0 myShell.Execute "du -sh /Volumes/SD MEMORY/Plugins" , I get Code:316MXXXXX/Volumes/SD MEMORY/Plugins , where XXXXX is some space. I just want 316M in this case. Well, I can get it, using mid, len and whatever since I know that the size unit is either B, M, G or T. Or is there a simpler way of getting only some part that I need? Thank you for your advice. Tom _________________ Mac OS X 10.5.6/REALBasic 2008 R5.1 I say 'no' to MBS plug-ins. I boycott them.
