I have a value "images/10403.jpg" that I would like to shorten to "10403.jpg" when I display it in a variable for the user to see. How would I go about doing that? Thanks in advance.

If the value is coming from a database field:

<%=replace(recordsetname.fields.item("FieldName".value, images/, ""%>

Awesome! Thanks Vince! Also for future reference, what if it's coming from a variable on the page? How would I truncate that?
