texte = One more note on this... not all browsers set the file name in the same way. Some pass the full path name to the source file, so you could get something like "c:images/my.jpg". You can also get file names that aren't web friendly, containing slashes, spaces, or other questionable characters. So, after pulling the file name out, I use the a listwords to eliminate the folder path, and a grep to remove unwanted characters. - Brian On Nov 10, 2004, at 3:40 PM, Gary Krockover wrote: > Thanks Rob, exactly what I was looking for.
