CSplitpath:SetExt

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 )

On success, this method returns true.
On failure, this method returns false.

Example

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

S = CSplitpath:new()	-- create a CSplitpath object
S:SetPath(sPath)	-- set the starting path
S:SetExt(sNewExt)	-- assign a new file extension
S:Merge()	-- combine the path components
...	-- do something with the new path
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
