BcxSplitPath

[mekanixx]

Hi folks,

Could we get an option for BcxSplitPath to drop the "." when returning FEXT? I'm using this quite a bit and following with a line to remove the "." is getting old!

Not to mention when I forget that last line!

Code: [Select]

ext$ = BCXSPLITPATH$(filename$, FEXT)
IF INSTR(ext$, ".") THEN REMOVE "." FROM ext$
Something like:

Code: [Select]

BCXSPLITPATH$(filename$, FEXT [, bRemove])
where if bRemove is TRUE/FALSE (or 1/0) to remove the "." or keep as is.

If not I might have a crack at it but you guys know c way better than I do.

Thanks,
Doyle

Why not this?

DIM Filename$, ext$

Filename$ = "C:\Temp\MyDocument.Dot.Mac"

ext$ =  MID$(BCXSPLITPATH$(Filename$, FEXT), 2)

PRINT ext$

PAUSE

Yeah, that looks like it'll work fine.
