Hi glen,

I was initially trying File.nameWithoutExtension but this doesn't work if you want to work on multiple open images which I am doing and didn't realise it wouldn't remove the ome so thanks for that tip.

I'm assuming there isn't a method to get a list of open files in an array then you could cycle through them and remove the extension using something like File.nameWithoutExtension that would work on the active image which the current method doesn't do.

I have a solution anyway.

Thanks,

Matt

Matt,
indexOf(string, substring) - Returns the index within string of the first occurrence of substring, such as β€œ.”.
        helps with  .ome.tif, but not so helpful if a user puts periods in the filenames.

File.nameWithoutExtension - The name of the last file opened with the extension removed.
        bname=File.nameWithoutExtension;
        print(bname);
        Unfortunately, this function will not strip the β€˜.ome’.
