CSplitpath:GetExt2

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.

Syntax

sExt = CSplitpath:GetExt2()

On success, this method returns a string containing the file extension without a preceding period.
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:

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
