file name mutations


  • Subject: file name mutations
  • From: Andrew Simpson <email@hidden>

can somebody tell me how i would do the following...

check for file names with the following name convention:

file name = nz1711jr-11028812.eps

sometext-six digit number plus incrementer.

and convert the file name to the following:

file name = 11028812.eps

ie chop the front off to the hyphen.

i'm sure its quite easy to those in the know but i haven't got my head
around the whole text manipulation routines as i'm used to VB with all the
functions built in.

split it and right it and away we go...

any help appreciated.

Andrew.
