How to chop off file extensions from a file...

How does one chop off the file extension of a file?
In advance thanx!!

I suggest you use "lastIndexOf" to get the last "." in case the file name has dots in it.

  • Can't find how to shut off File Transfer Mode with...

    I've spent the better part of two hours searching the Internet for information on how to turn off File Transfer Mode since my phone started refusing to connect to my home computer, today.
    The pdf user's guide doesn't say how to find it.  I've been digging through the menu on the phone trying to find anything that resembles File Transfer Mode so I can click it off.
    The other FAQ and discussion groups I've located are irrelavent as the information they contain doesn't transfer to my Nokia 820 (they suggest options which don't exist on my phone).
    Please, where does one start looking for File Transfer Mode on this phone so they can shut it off, and why isn't that information printed in the troubleshooting documents and self help files for these phones?
    I connect through the USB cable to my PC.  I have downloaded and installed Nokia PC Suite v.7.1.180.94 this morning in hopes that it would fix the connectivity problem, but unless I can get File Transfer Mode shut off somehow, my new phone's going to wind up being useless.
    Nokia Lumia 820, Windows 8 phone
    HP Pavilion Slimline s52021, Windows 7 Home

    have you searched these forums and tried a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? Bear in mind that no, Nokia Suite, or Nokia PC Suite do not work with Windows Phone 8 devices at all, only the Windows Phone app does.
    See if other devices connect to your PC, and try other USB ports.

  • How to remove the date extensions from a filename in SSIS Flat File Connection Manager dynamically at run time

    Hello,
    I have to load data from a csv file to SQL Database. The file is placed into a directory by another program but the file name being same, has different extensions based on time of the day that it is placed in the directory. Since I know the file name
    ahead of time, so, I want to strip off the date/time extension from the file name so that I can load the file using Flat File Connection Manager. I am trying to use 'variable' and 'expression editor' so that I can specify the file name dynamically. But I
    don't know how to write it correctly. I have a variable 'FileLocation' that holds the folder location where the file will be placed. The file for example:  MyFileName201410231230  (MyFileName always the same, but the date/time will be different)
    Thanks,
    jkrish

    I don't want to use ForEach Loop because the files are placed by a FTP process 3 times a day at a specific time, for ex. at 10 AM, 12 PM and 3 PM. These times are pretty much fixed. The file name is same but the extension will have this day time stamp. I
    have to load each file only once for a particular reason, meaning I don't want to load the ones I already loaded. I am planning on setting up the SSIS process to load at 10:05, 12:05 and 3:05 daily. The files will be piling up in the folder. As it comes,
    I load them. At some point in time, I can remove the old ones so that they won't take up space in the server.  In fact, I don't have to keep the old ones at all since they are saved in a different folder anyways. I can ask the FTP process to
    remove the previous one when the new one arrives. So, at any point in time, there will be one file, but that file will have different extensions every time.
    I am thinking of removing the extensions before I load every time. If the file name is 'MyFileNamexxxxxxx.csv', then I want to change it to 'MyFileName.csv' and load it.
    Thanks,
    jkrish
    You WILL need to use it eventually because you need to iterate over each file.
    Renaming is unnecessary as one way or another you will need to put a processed file away.
    And having the file with the original extension intact will also help you troubleshoot.

  • How can I get an extension from a file...in JFileChooser

    I have got a problem here. Here I have a JFileChooser, I want to add in
    a FileFilter, and user could only see some type of file. But as long as I
    try to get the extension....It wont compile, could any one teach me how
    to get the extension of a file in JFILECHOOSER???
    ============================================

    import javax.swing.filechooser.FileFilter;
    public class MainFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    public MainFrame() {.............}

  • How to turn off preview pane from windows explorer

    turn off preview handlers doesnot help
    OS: windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit with latest security update

    FIX FOUND:
    (Encountered same problem in Windows 8.1 Pro.  We have only Acrobat X, no Reader.)
    Open Explorer.  Select View from the top menu. 
    On the ribbon, there should be a button "Preview Pane". 
    Toggle it on or off by pressing the button.  You can also use ALT+P.
    Explorer will tell you that Preview is off, because the phrase "Select file to preview" disappears.

  • How do you install JAXP extensions from an applet?

    All:
    I want to use the JAXP XML parsers and DOM services in an Applet.
    How do I get the Java-plugin to download the xerces.jar and xalan.jar files automatically, with my applet jar?
    What goes in the applet manifest?
    Do I have to alter the xerces and xalan manifests?
    Brad

    Thanks, but I wish I could report success today.
    I believe what I stated before may have been confusing: the extension LIST is, indeed, in the manifest of the applet.jar.
    The extension NAMES, and digital signatures, however, are ALSO in the manifest of xerces.jar. I re-read and re-read the documentation and believe I have interpreted it correctly. The xerces.jar is the implementation of the extension, and as such, must pass muster, securitywise, if it is to be allowed to be installed in the jre\lib\ext folder.
    You are correct in saying I do not have to unjar the xerces.jar to rebuild it with the correct manifest information. The latest jar tool permits updating an existing jar file. Here is the bat file I currently use to create the installable version of xerces.jar:
    copy Original-xerces.jar xerces.jar
    jar -ufm xerces.jar manifest.txt
    jarsigner -keystore d:\develop\beckrose\java\keystores\underground.keystore xerces.jar underground
    (it then prompts for password)
    The manifest.txt that is used to update xerces.jar is:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: 1.3.0 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    Name: javax/xml/parsers/
    Extension-Name: javax.xml.parsers
    Specification-Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
    Specification-Version: 1.2
    Implementation-Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
    Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.sun
    Implementation-Version: 1.2.0-EA1
    Name: org/apache/xerces
    Extension-Name: org.apache.xerces
    Specification-Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
    Specification-Version: 1.2
    Implementation-Vendor: Apache Software Foundation
    Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
    Implementation-Version: Xerces-J_2_0_0_beta3
    The manifest file in the applet.jar refers to these extensions, so that the java plugin knows how and where to fetch them:
    Extension-List: parsers xerces
    parsers-Extension-Name: javax.xml.parsers
    parsers-Specification-Version: 1.2
    parsers-Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.sun
    parsers-Implementation-Version: 1.2.0-EA1
    parsers-Implementation-URL: http://beckrose:8080/underground/opt-pkg/xerces.jar
    xerces-Extension-Name: org.apache.xerces
    xerces-Specification-Version: 1.2
    xerces-Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
    xerces-Implementation-Version: Xerces-J_2_0_0_beta3
    xerces-Implementation-URL: http://beckrose:8080/underground/opt-pkg/xerces.jar
    If you look back at the error message, it does appear that the jaxp factory method is looking for a concrete class of the factory implementation. I believe this is where the plug-in is getting confused. The name of the concrete factory classes are in the META-INF/services folder. However, the concrete factory implementation that it is trying to use is the old crimson parser by default.
    In other words, the plugin is not allowing the xerces factory method to find the classname to load. As a result, it is falling back to the default, which is not implemented in the jar file.
    Now, it could be that the added manifest attributes and signature file are screwing up xerces or it could be a bug in the plugin.
    I don't quite know where to take this right now, so I'll monitor the plugin discussions and check out the xml.apache.org discussions.
    All I know is, it should NOT be this hard, this many years after Java 2 has been released.

  • Smart Card Reader - How to turn off logon screen from reboot or wake up

    I just set up the bluetooth reader on my laptop and now when my laptop wakes up or on reboot the BB smart card reader is there to logon.   I rarely use my smart card reader on my laptop, i use it primarily on my phone.  I don't want to unistall it but I dont need to see that screen.  Any one know how to shut it off?

    Most likely after installing it changed the PC log on type to the reader.
    In control panel (assuming you have a windows product) you can change how a user logs on.

  • How to take off email and website subscription from 2006  iMac to sell?

    I have a desktop Imac that I bought in 2006 and would now like to sell. I also bought a laptop in 2007 that I prefer using. How do I remove the email and website subscription from the desktop model without messing up the laptop info? They seem to be connected at this point and I am not sure how to take off the information from one without damaging the other.

    Have you solved this problem? If not, can you be more specific? You can change the email account information using Email preferences. Which website subscription would you like to remove?
