REGEX File Extention

Hello Guys, My REGEX skills are pretty horrible. I'm looking for a way to get the file extension from a string, examples of the strings are: Somthing.gif Thisone.jpg Ooh.mp3 Nice.fla What's the best way to achieve this? Effectively I want everything to the right of the dot.

You don't need Regex for that. Just use ListLast(filename, .)... Since it can happen that your filename looks like this: thisone.version.1.jpg So ListLast() will do the trick. Greetings / Grüsse Gert Franz Customer Care Railo Technologies GmbH [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.railo.ch Join our Mailing
