mmm... mypath = getbasetemplatepath(); mypath = Left(mypath,len(mypath)-Len(ListLast,mypath,"/\"));
RemoveChars removes from the left side rather than the right ... Though it probably is faster -- For some reason I just have an easier time typing / reading the reverse() syntax... If I were going to use this functionality frequently I wouldn't use either of these -- I'd performance test each, place the better one in a UDF and use the UDF... :) Isaac Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5 Developer www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 > actually I believe removeChars(len(listLast(...))) is > faster than reverse(), > but I could be wrong.
