Re: preg split question

Torsten, You could use explode on the file name and then only read in the sections that you want: $FileName = "Benutzer_OVE_CRA.php"; $Part1 = explode("_", $FileName_); $TotalPart1 = count($Part1); $Wanted_File_Pieces = array(); // C = 2 so that it will skip the Benutzer part of the filename and will be equal to total before the end is reached. for ($C=2; $C<$TotalPart1; $C++) { $Wanted_File_Pieces[($C - 2)] = $Part1[($C - 1)]; } $Part2 = explode(".", $Part1[$TotalPart1]); $Total2 = count($Wanted_File_Pieces); $Wanted_File_Pieces[$Total2] = $Part2[0]; $NewFileName = join("_", $Wanted_File_Pieces); It may be possible to do it with preg_split, I am not as familiar with that function as I would like to be. Hope this helped show you another way to do what you where wanting to do. Jonathan Pitcher On Thursday, March 27, 2003, at 08:39 AM, Torsten Rosenberger wrote:
