If the filename is never going to contain any number or @ you cold use <?php $dirt = array ("0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","@"); $wash = str_replace($dirt, null, $filename); ?> otherwise <?php $wash = preg_replace('/([^@]+)@[^.]*(.+)/', "\\1\\2", $filename); ?> Regards Steffen -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
