URLs without the file extension showing

This is just one of those odd things I've never had to do, so have never thought about it - but I've been asked to upload a powerpoint presentation, with a URL of just www.mydomainname.com/powerpointname
If anyone could let me know how this is done, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Try this: name your powerpoint file index.html and put it into a folder (in your site) named powerpointname.
Ideally, that will default to showing the file without the filename technically showing.
Here is a link that discusses powerpoint presentations as webpages: http://presentationsoft.about.com/od/nextstepsinpowerpoint/ss/save_as_webpage.htm

How can I get a filename without the file extension?

I using a JFileChooser to select and read a file. Now I want to get the filename without the file extension
JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser;
String file = j.getSelectedFile.getName();
At the moment I get this result "file.dat". I need only the filename.....
Thank you
Thomas

It's quite that.
Here is the code to do that (and the method to get only the extension):
     public String getFileName(String text) {
          int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
          if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
               return text.substring(0, ind);
          return(null);
     public String getFileExtension(String text) {
          int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
          if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
               return text.substring(ind+1).toLowerCase();
          return(null);
     }(I used 0<ind instead of ind>0 because with the code formatting there is a bug with > )
I hope this helps,
Denis

DOriginalName without the file extension

Folks
I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I'm very much out of my depth.
The organisation I work for has recently adopted Oracle Content Server to manage its intranet site, and it's fallen to me to work out how to report on my team's content. I'm using the built-in search facility and discovering bits and pieces of coding as I go along. However, I'm stuck with this:
<$dOriginalName$>
This gives me filenames with file extensions, whereas I need filenames without file extensions. Does anyone know how to achieve this? For information, both our filenames and our file extensions can be of various lengths, but there will never be more than one '.' (namely the '.' separating the filename from the file extension).
Many thanks in advance.
Ed

Not sure about your requirement. But if you are asking it at database level then
WITH T1(str) AS(
SELECT 'ABCD.TXT' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 'CHEF.DISCARD' FROM DUAL)
SELECT SUBSTR(str,1,INSTR(str,'.')-1) FILE_NAME FROM T1;
OUTPUT:
FILE_NAME
ABCD
CHEF
If this is not then post some sample of your data.

How to find the file type without the file extension using indesign javascript (.jsx)

hi,
How to identify the file type (eg: InDesign or Quark) without knowing their file type. How can we find what kind of file is that??? without their extension like ('.indd','.qxd') before import to the document...

Hi subha_oviya,
Take a look at the file filtering section in the InDesign CS3 sample script ImageCatalog.jsx to see how to look for file types. I'm assuming that you're using InDesign CS3, and that you're using the Mac OS--you didn't say.
Thanks,
Ole

Can one lift a file-name without the file.extension in javascript

I suspect this matter may have come up before but I could not find a thread on it ...
Anyway: If I grab a filename for later use with
var thedoc = app.activeDocument
var docName = thedoc.name
it picks up the original file-extension too.
Is there a way to avoid this or to »substract« the extension later on?
What I want to use that for is for saving multiple flattened CMYK-files from a layered RGB-psd-file into the same folder as the psd-file and appending a letter-combination to signify what printing-conditions they were generated for.
As Im plenty ignorant in Scripting-matters any help would be appreciated.

Here I go again:
Originally I thought I would combine Actions and Scripts into a Droplet but then I got to thinking one Script containing all the operations would be neater.
However I cant figure out how to write the Color Conversion of the RGB-files to CMYK into the Script.
In »convertProfile« how do I address the ICC-Profiles and the Intent?
Once again help would be appreciated, as I simply cant seem to figure it out from the Adobe-documentation on Javascript or a web-search.

GET FULL URL without the file

Hi,
I need to get the
http://www.mysite.com/images/
without coding it in so I can use it on multiple sites without
re-coding. Basically it is an email systems where I want to include
an email header and footer. In order for this to work the images
need to have full paths to the images on the server. I have tried
<cfset mypath = "
http://#cgi.server_name##cgi.script_name#
">
This returns
http://localhost/clients/broker2/layout/siteadmin/email/email_news.cfm
wich is good except the file name at the end.
So I guess my question is - How do you take off the filename?
I want this to work on different pages without re-coding.
How do I take out just the filename ( anything after the last

That works,
But while I was waiting for an answer I came up with
<cfset myPath = replace(GetDirectoryFromPath("
http://"&cgi.server_name&
cgi.path_info),"\","")>
Both seem to work

Screenshot File Extensions Showing on Tiger Intel

I've just switched to an iMac Intel 2.8 after years using Tiger on iMac PPCs. Encountering a minor annoyance that I would like to resolve. In the past (i.e. PPC days) screenshots were always saved by name without any file extension showing. On the new Intel machine, despite having "Show file extensions" unchecked in the Finder Preferences, every screenshot has the .png file extension showing. I'm guessing I have missed something obvious to turn this off but cannot find any advice despite searching here and via Google. Would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.

Try this: Click in the desktop and select Finder>Preferences>Advanced tab - deselect 'Show all filename extensions'.

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

I want the phone version of my site to use the same url as the desktop version. How can I do this without the "phone" extension in the url?

How do I get the phone version of my site to use the same url as the desktop version -- without the "phone" extension. when someone posted a link to my site, they posted it from their phone and it included /phone. Now when people click on it - - it goes straight to the phone version of the site.

Hyperlink without adding file extension

I have created a website using iWeb and have several links on it to other files on my computer. IWeb overrides the text I put in as the link and adds the file extension to it. I have tried renaming the file without an extension but it is always put back by iWeb. How can I make sure the file extension is not viewable on the web page?

Highlight the link URL and overwrite it using the Link inspector.

How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension

How to configure IIS webserver with weblogic so that I can
invoke servlets without the .wlforward extension
As per the documentation iisforward.dll is registered as a filter and .wlforward
has also been
included as a special file type. However this requires me to key-in ".wlforward"
after my servlet name.
What I want is something like this
http://iis/MyServlet
Please help me find a solution to this
Thanks,
Rishi

I am able to invoke the servlet without the wlforward extension now.
However, now I am required to add /weblogic before the servlet
name otherwise it does not execute the pathtrim property.
I have tried with the pathprepend thing also.
Can we get rid of the /weblogic part also. I just want to execute
my servlet as http://iis/myServlet.
Your help in this regard is greatly appreciated...
Thanks..

Thanks for the reply Kumar.
I did follow the instructions as given in the Weblogic documentation
The documentation said to add iisforward.dll as a filter service
and register .wlforward as a special
file type to be handled by iisproxy.dll. For this,
while configuring the IIS server in the Home Directory tab
I added an extension ".wlforward" and the executable as
iisproxy.dll. Is this the way it should have been done...
I also modified the iisproxy.ini file as per the documentation.
I have added the WLForwardPath property and set it to /weblogic.
My server works fine when I give the url as
http://iis/myServlet.wlforward
but it does not work for
http://iis/myServlet and this is the way i'd want it to work.
Please tell me if I am missing something on the configuration part
and if there is something special that needs to be done. I shall
be grateful to you.

Download ZIP file without changing file extension

I regularly download a zipped csv file, of the format: "filename.csv.gz". As the name does not change, Firefox adds a digit to distinguish it, so for example I get "filename.csv-3.gz". This is a pain as it changes the file extension which means that I cannot open the extracted file without first renaming it. I want to keep an archive of all the files, so deleting them each time isn't really an option, and neither is moving them to a different location each time. Is there any way the naming convention for downloads can be changed?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

How do I make the file extension (ie: .tif, .jpg, .eps) in OS 9.2 visible?

I'm trying to transfer files from an old G3 (OS 9.2) to a new G5 (OS 10.5.8). Most files do not show the extension in their name. For example, an Illustrator eps has the file name "layout_final". When I transfer it to the new machine, it recognizes it as an .EXE file and cannot open. If I type in the .eps file extension, where is now reads "layout_final.eps", it then opens in Illustrator. I don't want to have to resort to manually adding in the file extension to every file. Is there a way in OS 9.2 to automatically show/turn on the extension in the file name?
Thanks for the help!
Steve

How are you transferring the files ?
It sounds like you're going through some sort of Windows / DOS formatted media.
If you can network the two Macs together instead, do so.
If you can burn a CD or two on the Mac G3, do so.
If you have to use a USB stick, format it to Mac HFS Extended (aka HFS+) on either and use that.
The key is that if you transfer the files using something formatted for Mac, the file metadata should not be lost, and the files will appear on the G5 as expected, assuming that you have suitable apps to open the files in OSX 10.5

I was having an issue opening a spreadsheet with the file extension .xlsm. This appears as an attachment from a client which means macros were utilized when creating the spreadsheet. The problem lies in. The iPads ability to open the attachment. I downloaded the numbers app thinking this would be a default software to open any and all spreadsheets.
Please Help!
Ipad 2- iOS5

You may need a version without macros on it. Unfortunately, pretty much all apps are skinned down versions of their original program, often with less functionality. For example in a word document I can italicize,bold and underline, but I only have a handful of fonts to play with and I don't think I can insert tables or images.
It is very possible that the app simply cannot run macros, which means that document may never work on an iPad.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
