CFileDialog

[domi]

Hello,

I want to get the full filename (w/ path) of a selected file in a CFileDialog, but without
the extension (like .txt) !

CFileDialog::GetFileTitle() does, but then I have no path to the file. CFileDialog::GetPathName() receives the full path and the filename, but with the extension.

Is there any way to do what I want ?

Thanks, Dominik

Try this:

CString fullname = CFileDialog::GetPathName(); // full path with filename
CString filename = CFileDialog::GetFileName(); // filename only
int pos = filename.ReverseFind('.'); // only find the last '.', if any
if(pos > 0){ // make sure the filename has extension
pos = fullname.ReverseFind('.');
// now get rid of extension
fullname.Left(pos); // remove the extension from filename
}


The above codes may not cover all knid of cases, for example, a file has more than one extension (text.dat.dat). Also, you can call C library function:
void _splitpath( const char *path, char *drive, char *dir, char *fname, char *ext );

to extract the full path w/ filename into separate strings and format to the string you want.

Hope this will help. Good luck.
