Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to edit text in a cell using labtalk? I have written the filename into a cell using
%(%H,7,5)="%A";
But %A = filename.txt and i dont want the .txt on the end.
Is there anyway to delete that portion of the string?
Cheers and thanks!

Hi,

The following substring notation extracts everything to the left of the dot character.

%A=filename.txt;
%A=%[%A,'.'];
%A=;
filename
