Hey Kim, I found some dedicated pattern matching books but nothing by
O'reilly. Which is the very good one?
Thanks Jerry and Rick for the links.
I just got into regex last week end, inspiring lots netview page
scripts.
For other regex enthusiasts:

PS Ed just asked why I couldn't go to the other side of the building to
reply, but email is easier, using a North American keyboard, Softimage
is designed so that I can come into work and leave my left hand fingers
and thumb on the zxcv and space keys respectively and not even lift my
left wrist all day. Sadly I must lift my right hand a little to move my
mouse around but am expecting improvement in ergonomics in the coming
years to rectify this inconvienience.

there's one dedicated purely to pattern matching. It's very good.
Brad, you're just a speed freak, aren't yuo.

Do you have the O'Reilly books? I find them good. We have them on-line

Speaking of regular expressions, can anyone recommend good training
materials or websites for these?
I'm starting to use them more and more as they are wicked fast compared
to the built in jscript String object methods.

Filesystemobject also has methods for extension etc.

Subject: [Script] Trimming strings
Hello,
Is there are way to trim an string? For instance, I'm getting
a file name. I
would like to compare this name with other file names, but without the
padding and extension (basically to check if there are sequences of
different name in the same folder). The problem is that when
you get the
file name of a file through FileSystemObject, you get the padding and
extensions as well.
Thanks for any info
Bernard
