getting a file wthout extension

> String name = yourFile.getName().substring(0, yourFile.getName().lastIndexOf('.'));

You have to check if the name contains a dot first.

This piece of code is taken from here:

http://mindprod.com/jgloss/file.html

// getting the extension of a filename, (plain or including dirname)

// This code is much faster than any regex technique.

// filename without the extension

String choppedFilename;

// extension without the dot

String ext;

// where the last dot is. There may be more than one.

int dotPlace = filename.lastIndexOf ( '.' );

if ( dotPlace >= 0 )

{

// possibly empty

choppedFilename = filename.substring( 0, dotPlace );

// possibly empty

ext = filename.substring( dotPlace + 1 );

}

else

{

// was no extension

choppedFilename = filename;

ext = "";

}
