Does groovy have an easy way to get a filename without the extension?

Question

Say I have something like this:

new File(\"test\").eachFile() { file->  
println file.getName()  
}

This prints the full filename of eve

Answer 1

I believe the grooviest way would be:

file.name.lastIndexOf('.').with {it != -1 ? file.name[0..

or with a simple regexp:

file.name.replaceFirst(~/\.[^\.]+$/, '')

also there's an apache commons-io java lib for that kinda purposes, which you could easily depend on if you use maven:

org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils.getBaseName(file.name)
