Hello Feherke, I want to be able to evaluate the FILENAME and if it see's anything in any position other than the "-", ".", number 0-9, or alph A-Z, to mark the filename as invalid. I thought the syntax for my regex would work but i get mixed returns I also tried ecsaping the "-" if [[...

I found the problem it was actually another line of code that was causing the variable to not populate. I'll def use tags going forward to make it easier to read. Thanks for replying SamBone!

I actually thought i'd have to define each something like UP=0; DOWN=0; then pull them from the array but your way simplified this.

both work! That later is what I was trying to pull out. I wasn't defining UP / DOWN on my attempts. thnx!
