Help triming a variable

[Dryden]

Hi! Need some help guys! This is my problem:

In my script I have a variable that leads to a path, for example how do I trim it to erase the path and it only shows the executable without \ and .exe

for example:

my variable at a given point might be:

$var="c:\prog\prog.exe"

or it could be

$var="prog2.exe"

what I'm looking for is for a way to transform it in

$var="prog"

or

$var="prog2"

thx in advance

$string = "c:\prog\prog.exe"

$split1 = StringSplit ($string, "\")

$String = StringSplit ($split1[$split1[0]], ".")

MsgBox (0, "", $String[1])

Easier using multiple delimiters

$string = "c:\prog\prog.exe"

$String = StringSplit ($string, "\.")

MsgBox (0, "", $String[$String[0]-2])
