Hi,

I hope someone can help me Please!

Here's what i want to do - from my VB appln when a user selects a file from the file browser in the vb appln, it takes the filename which should be in the format : -
(4 digits-2digits-1or2digits-alphabet) e.g. 1111-20-1-a.dwg

It then checks whether the filename is in the correct format

If not it does this(...) else

it takes the filename and puts it in a textbox BUT WITHOUT THE file extension (e.g. 1111-20-1-a gets entered into text box)

areas in which I am having a problem is basically
1) performing the check on the filename and
2) which is related to the first one is getting the filename into a textbox without the file extension.

Any help would be much appreciated

Regards
Eb
