1. Thank you Nemo!! Problem solved. 2. There are lots of string functions already implemented - lc, uc, lcfirs, ucfirst, #titleparts... PAGENAME, FULLPAGENAME, BASEPAGENAME... - today. IMHO a generalized *split* function would be great to extend just a little bit the field of #titleparts to implement an efficient, simple way to manage simple arrays. StringFunctions could fire fantasy - *split* function would only increase efficiency to solve common issues. Alex
