This works for absolute paths: >> d: "c:\my\dir\is\this" == "c:\my\dir\is\this" >> insert replace/all replace/all d ":" "" "\" "/" "/" == "c/my/dir/is/this" >> print d /c/my/dir/is/this >> With partial paths you will need get some logic involved. Also there may be some issues with knowing if the path is a directory or a file. --Ryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Could someone please fix this?
