How to get the basename of a file path without extension in PowerShell?

You can use the Split-Path cmdlet in PowerShell to extract the base name (or file name without extension) from a file path. Here's an example:

1
2
3
4
5

$file = "C:\path\to\file\example.txt"
$baseName = Split-Path $file -Leaf
$baseNameWithoutExtension = $baseName -replace '\..*'

Write-Host "Base name without extension: $baseNameWithoutExtension"

In this example, the $file variable contains the file path "C:\path\to\file\example.txt". We then use Split-Path $file -Leaf to extract the file name (including extension) from the path. Finally, we use the -replace operator to remove the extension from the file name and store it in the $baseNameWithoutExtension variable.

What is the syntax for extracting a file path without extension in PowerShell?

To extract a file path without extension in PowerShell, you can use the following syntax:

1
2
3

$filePath = "C:\Path\To\File\exampleFile.txt"
$fileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($filePath)
$filePathWithoutExtension = [System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($filePath) + "\" + $fileName

In this syntax:

• Replace "C:\Path\To\File\exampleFile.txt" with the actual file path you want to extract the file path without extension from.
• $filePath variable stores the original file path.
• $fileName variable extracts the file name without extension using the GetFileNameWithoutExtension method from the System.IO.Path class.
• $filePathWithoutExtension variable constructs the file path without extension by combining the directory path and the file name without extension.

How to exclude the file extension from the file path string in PowerShell?

You can exclude the file extension from a file path string in PowerShell by using the Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension method. Here's an example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

# Define the file path with extension
$filePath = "C:\folder\file.txt"

# Get the file name without extension
$fileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($filePath)

Write-Host $fileName

In this example, the variable $fileName will contain the file name without the extension "txt". This method works for any type of file extension.
