I would like to suggest two new macro properties:

document.BaseName
document.Extension

Currently there are “only”
document.Path
document.FullName
document.Name

On an example file “X:pathtofile with.dots.ext”
i expect to get:

document.Path = “X:pathto”
document.FullName = “X:pathtofile with.dots.ext”
document.Name = “file with.dots.ext”

and new suggested:
document.BaseName = “file with.dots”
document.Extension = “ext”

– – –

Currently an user have to do this on his own:

	strBase = fBaseName(document.Name);

	strExte = fNameExte(document.Name);

	

	strNewName =  strBase + "_Backup." + strExte;

	alert(strNewName);

	

	

	

	//--------------------------------

	function fBaseName(str)

	{

	    if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)       

	       base = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("."));

	   return base;

	}

	

	function fNameExte(str)

	{

	    if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)       

	       exten = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf(".")+1);

	   return exten;

	}

Another piece of example code, related to the above one, for all who could need it:


strName = document.FullName;
strBase = fBaseName(document.Name);
strExte = fNameExte(document.Name);
//strNewName = strBase + "_Backup." + strExte;
strEEFolder = fPathName(editor.FullName);

function fPathName(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf("\\") != -1)
path = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("\\"));
return path;
}
function fBaseName(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)
base = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("."));
return base;
}
function fNameExte(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)
exten = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf(".")+1);
return exten;
}

Cleaned-up Update:


strFullName = document.FullName;
strPath = fPathName(document.FullName);
strName = document.Name;
strBase = fBaseName(strName);
strExte = fNameExte(strName);
strPaBa = strPath+"\\"+strBase;
strNewName = strPath+ "\\" + strBase + "_Backup." + strExte;
strEEFolder = fPathName(editor.FullName);
strMyTool = strEEFolder + "\\Tools\\SubFolder\\application.exe";

function fPathName(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf("\\") != -1)
path = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("\\"));
return path;
}
function fBaseName(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)
base = str.substring(0, str.lastIndexOf("."));
return base;
}
function fNameExte(str)
{
if(str.lastIndexOf(".") != -1)
exten = str.substring(str.lastIndexOf(".")+1);
return exten;
}
