Isolate text file name from .txt (extension)

[cavalli]

Hello,

I have basic knowledge of AutoIt3 and I looked at this forum very often for my codes, but is a first time that i make a new topic, so i'm new on this forum, and before ask for help I want just thank people who spend their time to answer questions and help newbies like me 

 

I do not know if the topic title is clear to you, let me explain my problem : 

 

I have a combobox that points to a folder, in the folder I have text files, when I choose one of these text files, I want the name of the file is assigned to a variable, but without the extension, for example the "mytxtfile.txt" file, I just want to retrieve in my variable "mytxtfile" 

 

Hopefully I was clear in my topic

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

Please have a look at function _PathSplit.

Here some variants for filename only:

$sText = "mytxtfile.txt"
$way1 = StringLeft($sText, StringInStr($sText, ".", 0, -1) - 1)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $way1 = ' & $way1 & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$way2 = StringTrimRight($sText, StringLen($sText) - StringInStr($sText, ".", 0, -1) + 1)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $way2 = ' & $way2 & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$way3 = StringRegExpReplace($sText, "(.*)\..*", "$1")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $way3 = ' & $way3 & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console
$way4 = StringRegExp($sText, "(.*)\..*", 3)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $way4 = ' & $way4[0] & @crlf & '>Error code: ' & @error & @crlf) ;### Debug Console

It's not clear whether you have a full path string or only the filename!

And here is some string manipulation.

; Returns filename only without extension.
Local $sFileName = "mytxtfile.txt"
Local $sFullPathFileName = "c:\Dir\full path\mytxtfile.txt"
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sFileName, "(.*\\|\..*)", "") & @LF)
ConsoleWrite(StringRegExpReplace($sFullPathFileName, "(.*\\|\..*)", "") & @LF)
