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.
sExt = CSplitpath:GetExt2() |
|
On success, this method returns a string containing the file extension without a preceding period.
On failure, this method returns nil.
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 |
