CSplitpath:GetFilenameExt

The GetFilenameExt method returns the filename+extension from a CSplitpath object. The returned string has a form like "filename.ext". If the filename has no extension, it is returned without a terminating period.

Example

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

S = new_splitpath()

-- create a CSplitpath object

S:SetPath(sPath)

-- Specify the path to be split

sNameExt = S:GetFilenameExt()

-- assigns the filename + extension to sNameExt.

S:delete()

-- when done with S, remove it from memory
