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
