Regular Expression With 'match'

[naughty]

QUOTE
Unfortunately basename and basenameEx do not fit for this problem.

no, but the command I was actually thinking of does:

CODE
fileExtension "c:/qwdq/asgasdf.mb";
// Result: mb //

I win x2!

thx jooja for being informative .. i thought another way with match and tokenize..

i too used match for solving that probs..

basename and basenameEx solve for extension but i want for this case to seperate filename from extension..

thanks everyone..

Ahh but see then you have a problem. youd need to tokenze and then recombine, because nothing states a file cant be named

my.file.is. separated.by.many.extensions

Only the slast being a extension so its not much faster anyway, in fact 2 regexps may be faster. or substitute combined with split

[underearth]

yeah.that.substitute.will.make my script "." proof..

know i know what and how can we do idiot proofing..
