Re: Regex To Remove File Extension

[dreadpiratepeter]

that is because you told it to take everything after a dot using a "greedy" match. You want a "non-greedy", using the ? modifier. try: /\..*?$/, alternately you could use /\.[^.]+$/ to remove a dot followed by one or more non-dot characters at the end of the string

/\..*?$/ won't work because it still matches off the first period - I thought of that one at first, too. The second expression(/\.[^.]+$/) works fine.

You are of course correct. I should pay more attention when responding to posts. In my defense, I was hard at work on some code and was distracted.
