Topic: Delete the extension

I want to delete the extension



Q:   I want to restore some scripts which my editor has backup and added an additional extension .bak

A:  That's easy with Siren
     Use Ctr+B to choose your directory. Single click on it and choose OK
     You can use the filter combo box  to see only files you want to.



EXAMPLE:        Clean-up.vbs.bak
EXPRESSION:  %b
RESULT:          Clean-up.vbs



EXPLANATION:
%b is the so called base name, means the file name without the extension (.bak)
Because Siren see all after the last dot (first dot from the right) as the extension - all we need to do is clear the (additional-) extension.










Press the F1-key while you are in Siren to get some help.
