Chri, which version of LC are you using? My version 4.5 does not delete the itemDel, just the contents.
put empty into item 4 of tString --keeps the "/" delete item 4 of tString -- purges the slash -- this should work to make a shorter path string replace "/" with itemDel in tString delete item itemOffset("public.html", tString) of tString --purges the item replace itemDel with "/" in tString Jim Ault Las Vegas --- On Mon, 8/1/11, Nonsanity <f...@nonsanity.com> wrote: From: Nonsanity <f...@nonsanity.com> Subject: Re: How do I remove part of a path?
