remove extension image's filename

[Eric BADEL-2]

Hi all,
It is probably so simple ! Sure, I should find in the archives but I
searched and I found only a tricky method.
Let's open an image and get its title (title=getTitle()). Then, do many
things and measurements with it than finally save the results and an another
resulting image with the same name.

Example:
The initial image I open is "toto.tif"
I want to save final results as "toto.xls" (and not "toto.tif.xls")
and an another resulting image as "toto_loc.tif" (and not "toto.tif_loc.tif")

For that, we need to get "toto".
Thank you
Eric

Hi,

Something I use a lot for that is : replace(string, old, new)

for instance xls_name=replace(title,".tif",".xls");

Eric,

You can use something like this:

            name = getTitle;
            dotIndex = indexOf(name, ".");
            title = substring(name, 0, dotIndex);

Now your name will be toto.tif and your title will be toto.  Use the title
for your saves.
