Hi

How do I find the last occurence of a charachter or symbol in a given
string:

ie. how would i find the position of the second "\" in the following
string?
"C:\stuff\pk_promo8_feb12_afternoon.txt"

Thanks,

Try the function InStrRev.

s = "C:\stuff\pk_promo8_feb12_afternoon.txt"

position = InStrRev(s,"\")

msgbox position

And from the other side:

test = "C:\stuff\pk_promo8_feb12_afternoon.txt"
nFirst = InStr(test, "\")
if nFirst<>0 then nSecond = InStr(nFirst+1, test, "\")
if nSecond<> 0 then Response.Write nSecond
