Hello all. I have a function that executes the unzip command.

What I want to do is to extract the value(s) after inflating, so that I can check what was extracted from the zip.

You can do so with regular expresson but a more simple aproach may be to use the split command the split up the output from the shell command into an array. then you can do a string comparision on each element - less elegent but easier to master if you are not familiar with regular expressions. -- Raditha Dissanayake. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha.com/megaupload Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.
