I am in need of a regular expression that can remove the extension of a filename, returning only the name of the file.
Here are some examples of inputs and outputs:<
Just for completeness: How could this be achieved without Regular Expressions?
var input = 'myfile.png'; var output = input.substr(0, input.lastIndexOf('.')) || input;
The || input takes care of the case, where lastIndexOf() provides a -1. You see, it's still a one-liner.
|| input
lastIndexOf()
-1
