This is simple to check, and there are several ways to do it. If you know exactly what the starting (or ending) string is, like ".xls" then you can always: if char 1 to 4 of tFile = ".xls" or if char -4 to -1 of tFile = ".xls" Craig Newman -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Rebbe <matthias_livecode_150...@m-r-d.de> To: How to use LiveCode <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> Sent: Thu, Jan 31, 2013 8:50 am Subject: ends not / begins not …. not possible?
