CSplitpath:GetExt CSplitpath:GetFilename

CSplitpath:GetExt2


The GetExt2 method returns the file extension from a CSplitpath object. The extension is returned without a preceding period, in a format like "fts". To return the path with a preceding dot character, use GetExt instead.

Syntax

sExt = CSplitpath:GetExt2()

 

    On success, this method returns a string containing the file extension without a preceding period.

    On failure, this method returns nil.

Example

Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script fragment retrieves the file extension:

 

S = CSplitpath:new()

-- create a CSplitpath object

S:SetPath(sPath)

-- Specify the path to be split

sExt = S:GetExt2()

-- assigns the file extension component to the string sExt.

S:delete()

-- when done with S, remove it from memory
