filename [message #23652]

hi,

I have to save two files with the same filename but different
extensions. Using DIALOG_PICKFILE creates path+filename+extention.
Can you experts tell me the shortest way to get the filename avoiding
too many string operations?

thanks for help

Gernot

I recommend "fdecomp" from Landsman's excellent IDL Astro library:

Dear Gernot,

you may use file_path_name_ext from our library.

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl_ html/dbase/download/file_path_name_ext.tar.gz

file='d:\alpha\beta\filen.ext
f=file_path_name_ext(file)
print, f.path
d:/alpha/beta/
print, f.name
filen
print, f.ext
.ext

For further routines and licensing please look first at
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg1/idl_icglib/idl_lib_intro.h tml

regards

Reimar
