File extension

[talahaski]

How do I get the extension of a file.

 

I have a openfiledialog to get the file, then I want to check the extension and perform different actions based on the file extension.

 

I looked through the help and the only thing that was even close was file.attribute, but that is not what I need.

 

Example

 

if ofd.filename.extension="jpg" then

file.copy(ofd.filename,newname+ofd.filename.extension)

[PlausiblyDamp]

if System.IO.Path.GetExtension(filename) = "jpg" then
    file.copy(ofd.filename,newname+ofd.filename.extension)
end if

Thanks

 

Thanks a bunch, I did not look in the io.path namespace.

 

System.IO.Path.GetExtension(filename)

yeah, it's the same old vb story, great tools but hard to find if you don't know the names - if you knew the names you wouldn't need to find them.

 

At least now that everything is an object in a namespace it's a little more organized.

 

I like to sip tea and study the Object Browser...
