CSplitpath:GetExt

CSplitpath:GetExt

The GetExt method returns the file extension from a CSplitpath object. The extension is returned with a preceding dot, as in ".fts". To return the path without a preceding dot, use GetExt2().

Syntax

sExt = CSplitpath:GetExt()

On success, this method returns a string containing the file extension.
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 component:

S = CSplitpath:new()	-- create a CSplitpath object
S:SetPath(sPath)	-- Specify the path to be split
sExt = S:GetExt()	-- assigns the file extension component to the string sExt.
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
