Strip extension function

[John Aspinall]

Hi,

Is there a string function to strip the file extension from a variable
in ASP? If not any suggestions as to the best way to approach this?

Cheers...John

Use the InStrRev function
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/script56/html/vsfctinstrrev.asp)
to find the last ".". Then remove that and everything after it.

ASP is not a language, but a platform for script languages.

ASP vbscript:

function stripExt(x)
n = InStrRev(s,".")
if n>0 then
stripExt = left(s,n-1)
else
stripExt = x
end if
end function


ASP jscript:

function stripExt(x){
return x.replace(/\.[^\.]*$/,'')
}
