PathFileNameWithoutExtension Procedure

Gets the part of the filename before the final dot. Use PathExtension to return the rest of the filename starting with the final dot.

If there are multiple dots in the filename, all but the last one are included in this function's result. For instance, PathFileNameWithoutExtension("test.tar.gz") returns "test.tar".

This is done by manipulating the path string. No disk access is performed and the path does not need to actually exist.

Declaration

function PathFileNameWithoutExtension(path as String) as String

Parameters

path as String — Path to a directory or file.

Return value

String — Part of the filename before the final dot. If the filename does not contain a dot, then the whole filename is returned.

Example

Code

' this result depends on your operating system

print PathFileNameWithoutExtension("C:\Users\user\Documents\myfile.txt")

print PathFileNameWithoutExtension("filename_without_extension")

Output

myfile

filename_without_extension
