How would I go about trimming to the slash in MyString..

Dim MyString

mystring = "/site/page.asp"

and return "page.asp"

hey snowboardr
do you want to get rid of that in this string only or is this soemthing you want dynamicaly for a input field?
if this is the string that needs to have it done to
this should work out fine
<%
Dim MyString
MyString = &quot;/site/page.asp&quot;

MyString = Replace(MyString,&quot;/site/&quot;,&quot;&quot;,1,1)
Response.Write(MyString)
%> [bomb]
I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

Well im attempting to make a directory structure thing.. or whatever you would call it. Something like this..

/lesson/lesson_1.asp

on the page it would display...

Lesson > Lesson 1

etc..

And I also have to make Lesson a url, and lesson 1 a url
like so..

Lesson = /lesson/
Lesson 1 = /lesson/lesson_1.asp

Havn't come up with a way to do this yet..

I have used replace(ScriptName, &quot;/&quot;, &quot; > &quot;) but that still doesnt help me for the url, and capitalizing...

you can manipulate the string this way to get the posrtions out
path = &quot;/lesson/lesson_1.asp&quot;
path = right(path, 12)
path = Replace(path,&quot;.asp&quot;,&quot;&quot;)
' returns lesson_1
'if you really wanted you can do another replace for the _

you actually don't trim off anything but cut off and show the portion you watn like
path = left(path, 1) 'returns /
path = right(path, 4) 'returns .asp


There has to be a easier way though and if someone else doesn't post it I'll find it. [bomb]

Thought about it a bit now .. still a kludge, but ..

<%@enablesessionstate=&quot;false&quot; language=&quot;vbscript&quot;%>
<html>
<head>
<title>File Path Links Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<%dim str_filepath
dim lng_currentpointer
dim str_cumulativefilepath
str_filepath= &quot;/mysite/classes/class1/lesson1/lesson1.asp&quot;
str_filepath = split(str_filepath, &quot;/&quot;)
if isarray(str_filepath) then
str_cumulativefilepath = str_filepath(lbound(str_filepath))
for lng_currentpointer = lbound(str_filepath) to ubound(str_filepath)
str_cumulativefilepath = str_cumulativefilepath & &quot;/&quot; & _
str_filepath(lng_currentpointer)
if len(str_filepath(lng_currentpointer)) > 0 then
%> <a href=&quot;<%=str_cumulativefilepath%>&quot;>
<% Response.write str_filepath(lng_currentpointer)
%> </a>
<% end if
if lng_currentpointer < ubound(str_filepath) and _
lng_currentpointer > lbound(str_filepath) then
%>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;
<% end if
next
end if
%> </body>
</html>
