Hi community

I have a string containing the full path and name of a file, and I want to remove everything behind the last '.', how can I do that?

Thanks for your time

Do you mean something like strdel?

Only using PAWN I don't believe that be possible.

If not with pawn, do you know a way to make that in C++, so I can plug that function in?

The ****** is your friend:

Replace sprintf to sprintf_s for get security, and for linux sprintf don't work, another function is needed, or just remove it, delete the last char and rename the file.

#if defined LINUX || defined __FreeBSD__ || defined __OpenBSD__
    #define format snprintf
#endif

#if defined __WIN32__ || defined _WIN32 || defined WIN32
    #define format sprintf_s
#endif

If you have only 1 dot in the filename, then it's easy enough;

new filename[32] = example.txt,
strdel(filename, strfind(filename, ".", true), strlen(filename))

main() {
    // test
    new path[] = "path/to/file/with.periods.ext";
    remove_extension(path);
    printf("path = %s", path);
}

stock delete_extension(path[]) {
    new i = -1, j;
    // Loop until find the last '.'
    while ((j = strfind(path, ".", _, i + 1)) != -1) {
        i = j;
    }
    // Delete .extension 
    strdel(path, i, i + strlen(path[i]));
}
