CSplitpath:GetFilenameExt

The GetFilenameExt method returns the filename+extension from a CSplitpath object. The returned string has a form like "filename.ext". If the filename has no extension, it is returned without a terminating period.

Syntax

sNameExt = CSplitpath:GetFilenameExt()

On success, this method returns a string containing the filename and extension.

On failure, this method returns nil.

Example

Suppose a file exists with a full path named sPath. The following script retrieves the filename and extension components:

S = new_splitpath()	-- create a CSplitpath object
S:SetPath(sPath)	-- Specify the path to be split
sNameExt = S:GetFilenameExt()	-- assigns the filename + extension to sNameExt.
S:delete()	-- when done with S, remove it from memory
