Hi all..
I was trying to use stringsplit command to a particular file name.
like for example

Quote:
i am a newbie.doc


I wish to rename this file but I have to keep the extension..
i tried using split path to store .doc into a variable.. but seems like it doesnt work for me..
I tried this:

Code:
name=i am a newbie.doc
         stringsplit,word_array,name,.,


i tried to display out the word_array but seems like it doesn work. I got to display out word by word. for example word_array4.

May I know how can I save the .doc into a variable?
thanks for the help as i am really new to AHK..

You may use SplitPath command:

Code:
InputVar = i am a newbie.doc
SplitPath, InputVar, OutFileName, OutDir, OutExtension, OutNameNoExt, OutDrive
MsgBox, % OutNameNoExt "`n" OutExtension
