look at the following code

line2 = Replace(line, "<IMG SRC="" http://www.funnymail.com/webdata/cs/ - http://www.funnymail.com/webdata/cs/ ", "")
line2 = Replace(line2, """></P>", "")
mrpath = "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator.SHAWN-9W8E523KB/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/" & line2
Response.Write mrpath
Response.end

now if line2 was initially equal to <IMG SRC=" http://www.funnymail.com/webdata/cs/ - http://www.funnymail.com/webdata/cs/ 20030422.gif"></p> you would think that this code would return "C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator.SHAWN-9W8E523KB/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/20030422.gif", right? Look at what it returns

C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator.SHAWN-9W8E523KB/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files/ 20030422.gif

notice that the space between the filename at the end and the folder "tempory internet files". This is driving me crazy, this code should return a filename without the space at the beginning. Instead it produces the wrong filename and i can't use that with the FSO, because it doesn't exist. HeLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!

oops, i forgot to mention that the augmentation occurs somewhere between lines 2 and 3. It comes out fine when i print it out after line 2. but then it somewhere changes by the end of line 3.
