Hi,

You can use use SPLIT statement.

You can split the filename at '.' and store whatever is there after . in a variable which will give you the extension.

Press F1 on SPLIT to get syntax details.

Hi Suhas,

I don't think that function module will work for file extensions with more than 3 characters.

Just a heads up.
