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.

Syntax

sNameExt = CSplitpath:GetFilenameExt()

where

sNameExt is a string containing the file name and ectension. On failure, nil is returned.

Example

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

S = CSplitpath:new( sPath )	-- create a CSplitpath object for path sPath
sNameExt = S:GetFilenameExt()	-- returns the filename and extension
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
