CSplitpath:SetExt

The SetExt method sets the file extension component of the CSplitpath object. Use Merge to combine this component and the other components into a full path.

Syntax

bSuccess = CSplitpath:SetExt( sExtension )

where

sExtension is the new file extension, without a preceding dot.

bSuccess is the returned success code. On success it is true, otherwise false.

Example

Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script creates a new path using a different file extension named sNewExt:

S = CSplitpath:new( sPath )	-- create a CSplitpath object for path sPath
S:SetExt( "txt" )	-- assign a new file extension
S:Merge()	-- combine the path components
