ListLast("dog.jpg",".") Jonathon
-----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 07, 2007 10:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: How do I get the characters after the last period in a string? This seems so simple, yet I couldn't figure out the answer even after going through the list and strings functions in the docs for CF 8. I want to return the characters in the name of a photo preceding the period. i.e.. If the photo is named "dog.jpg", I want to strip out ".jpg" from the filename so I can alter the filename and then "reattach" the ".jpg". Seems so simple, but I can't figure out how to get it done.
