Help needed with ASP & Access searching

[John]

I hope someone can help.

I have an MS Access driven website using ASP (not ASP.NET)

When a record is deleted I first need to delete any image files associated with that record.

The images are contained in an 'images' folder.

The references to these files are contained witin objRS("Article") as a normal hyperlink,
ie...href="........ etc

What I need to do is...
a) search the record for these references
b) extract the filename which will be either jpg,gif or bmp files
c) delete the file from the 'images' folder

I can do c myself once I know the filename.

I hope I have explained enough.

Can anyone help please?

TIA

Find the image filename string using

<%
SearchString ="http://www.yoursite/images/yourimg.ext"
SearchChar = "/"
StartPos = InstrRev(SearchString, SearchChar)-1
ImgFileNameString= Right(SearchString,Len(SearchString)-StartPos)
%>

PS
You would be better off storing the image filename only in a separate DB field and the DB images in a separate folder w/ a unique
name
