I don't understand the question, sorry. :-(

Maybe you want something like FSC_BASE_FILENAME, which
can parse a filename into the base name, the directory,
and its file extension:

IDL> file = 'some_ordinaryfile.h5'
IDL> name = FSC_Base_Filename(file, Directory=d, Extension=e)
IDL> Print, e
h5
IDL> file = 'some_ordinaryfile.hdf'
IDL> name = FSC_Base_Filename(file, Directory=d, Extension=e)
IDL> Print, e
hdf

You can find it here.

Cheers,

David
