Before Characters

I'm trying to make a gani set, but its from the ganis folder. I need to know how to do:

PHP Code:

temp.foo = fly.gani;
setani(temp.foo,NULL); 


This is just an example of the situation im in. I just need help on how to removed the .gani suffix from a string. If anyone can help PLEASE do. I am loading it from a folder. So I cant really edit the string (I think).

Returns string.

Example

PHP Code:

function onCreated()
{
  temp.foo = "Hello World!";
  echo(temp.foo.substring(1));
  echo(temp.foo.substring(6, 5));
} 


This is a good starting point. If you know for a fact that the file being passed has .gani attached, you can just use substring. Otherwise, you might want to use a mix of http://gscript.graal.net/pos and substring.

You could use substring, but it's so much easier just to use:

extractfilebase(str) - Extracts the base file name from a string. I.e: levels/file.nw would return file.

Usage:

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
  temp.filename = "fly.gani";
  temp.gani = extractfilebase(temp.filename);
  echo(temp.gani); // echos: fly
}
