ULP (board name without path and extension?)

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 14 years ago

Can anyone please write the ULP code to strip the path and the

extension from the board name (B.name)? I need to generate the very

first and the last line of the G-code as:

 

%filename G71*

 

so I need the filename without the path and the extension.

 

e.g. if the B.name is:

 

c:\some_folder\test.brd

 

I need just 'test' to be able to generate:

 

%test G71*
