File Name in Field?
Just a quickie (I searched and cannot find): On opening a text file with the dialog, and displaying the contents in a field: is there a way to retrieve just the filename? (so I can put it in it's own field) tia :) Cheers, Heather ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Hi Heather, After using the answer file or ask file command, you have the required information in the it variable. Do with it whatever you like. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Benefit from our inexpensive hosting services.

Aha! Okay, so I was kind of on the right track, in my straightforward non-functiony beginners script - that didn't work :( I tried to return item 2, 3... (oops) of all kinds of things, including it and it in variable, without realising you have to set the delimiter thing first. And -1 of course! Duh. Okay, great got it. Thanks once again Eric.
