Hi there,
Is there a function for remove extention from file names?

Thanks.

Ben,
You can use string functions on file names :

file="image1.tif";
name = substring (file,0,lastIndexOf(file,"."));
print (name);

//You can also build this into a user defined function :

function withoutExtention(s) {
name = substring (s,0,lastIndexOf(file,"."));
return name;
}

//and you can call this function like this :

file="image2.tif";
print (withoutExtention(file));

Thanks, Jerome,
You mean use like this in a macro, right?
I guess in a plugin, the substring function is like:

public String substring(int beginIndex,
                        int endIndex)
