how do i remove characters like at the end with VBS? i am trying to get the string of the filename without the extension

[IcemanND]

Right(string,y) function to get the right side of string to len y
Left(string,y) to get the left side of string for len y
Mid(string, x, [len y]) to get substring from the point x to len y, if y is omitted go to end of string.

oh ya thanks, didn't think abt this, usually in many programming languages there is a substring function lol

You may want to look at using the FileSystem Object for your purpose here.

You can see an example here:

You could also use the Split method or Split and Replace methods
Example
You have this path
C:\SomeFolder\Folder\Name.Ext
Example Split

Quote

Dim F1, F2, F3
F1 = Split("C:\SomeFolder\Folder\Name.Ext","\")
 For Each F2 In F1
  F3 = F2
 Next 
 F1 = Split(F3,".")
 WScript.Echo F1(0) & vbCrLf & F1(1)

Example Split And Replace

Quote

Dim F1, F2, F3
F1 = Split("C:\SomeFolder\Folder\Name.Ext","\")
 For Each F2 In F1
  F3 = Replace(F2,".Ext","")
 Next
 WScript.Echo F3
