How to delete file extension - Office365 Version

Some it's needed to cut the file extension from a file name.

Here are 2 steps to do it.

We 'll use the actions named:

Used Variables

Use the following variables for this sample

Set the String attribute with your filename. In my sample I am getting it from a Sharepoint Column name named "ItemwithExtension"

Then set the String operation to "Extract"

The pattern used is :^/]*(?=."^.]+($|?)) with ignore case checked

Finally set a collection variable ( varWithout2 in this case ) to get the results

Finally set a collection variable ( varWithout2 in this cae) to get the results

This action is set to extract he first value from the collection variable (varWithout2) and set the result on the variable named varWithoutExtension

In my sample I wanted to view the results on the History list from a string with the value fhunth.photo.jpg and the results showed is fhunth.photo

Hi, I'm trying to do this exact process with the On Premis version of Nintex.

However, when I attempt my Collection Operation to extract the first value (Action 2 above), I have no "Index" available from the dropdown

How do I do this or what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Unfortunately you can't type in the index field, you will have to create a numeric variable with a default value and use that.

Thank you! this worked perfectly

I found I also needed to run a Collection Operation to sort the collection variable (ascending)

This then allowed me to use the numeric variable in the screenshot above (default value = 1) to select the correct value.

Thank you!
