Can I see what code you've created so far?
hey buddy, thanks but i figured it out... using regular expressions. cheers!
Well, glad you found it!
is that the direction you would recommend, or are there better ways?
Regular Expressions are pretty much the way to go, yes.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
It depends on precisely what you're doing - it might be more efficient to use a simple indexOf() call...

what i'm doing is this... on an event i am taking the .src of an image and suffixing that with "_over.gif" (a separate file), and then on another event, replacing "_over.gif" with ".gif", creating the rollover effect. i am doing this currently with regular expressions.
Well, if you were doing this with a significant number of images in a loop you'd be better off with .indexOf() from an efficiency POV, but using a RegEx for a single string isn't going to make any perceptible difference...
