Is there any way to turn this:

<IMG SRC="www.mysite.com/myfile.jpg">

into this?

www.mysite.com/myfile.jpg

any help is appreciated!

Is the value in a varible or where? You could use simply the replace function if that is the case.

You could probably do it with a RegExp (Regular Expression) but I'm not much good with them so I'd use InStr and Mid:

intStart = InStr(strImg, """") + 1
intEnd = InStr(intStart, strImg, """") - 1
strFinal = Mid(strImg, intStart, intEnd)

(Here, strImg is the HTML image tag and strFinal is the location of the file.)

Or, like Michael suggested, you could use Replace:

strImg = Replace(strImg, "<img src=""", "")
strImg = Replace(strImg, """>", "")
