Re: ends not / begins not …. not possible?

This is simple to check, and there are several ways to do it. If you know exactly what the starting (or ending) string is, like ".xls" then you can always:



if char 1 to 4 of tFile =  ".xls"



or




if char -4 to -1 of tFile =  ".xls"

Hi,

am i doing something wrong or is it really not possible to check if a string 
does not begin/ends with a prefix/suffix


If tFile ends not with ".xls" then…..

This does not work.  Is it really not possible?

Regards,

Matthias
