CMD Q: I want to remove the extension of a filename.
It is actually a complete path, like C:/Me/My/Path/filename.xxxx
i know that the extension has 4 chars, like shown in example above.
How can i get rid of the extension?
Thanks.

A:
In terminal:
set file=C:/Me/My/Path/filename.1234
for /F "tokens=*" %A IN ("%file%") DO @echo variable ^%file^%: %~dpnA
In batch file:
@echo off
set file=C:/Me/My/Path/filename.1234
echo If called with path as batch parameter: %~dpn1
for /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ("%file%") DO echo variable %%file%%: %%~dpnA

have two questions: does this also delete the dot (.)? and: how do i delete with three (123)?

and: will this just change my variable, or do i have to add something to make it a variable?

Do you see 4 hardcoded anywhere? it removes the last . and everything after it. It does not change the variable, to change it, replace the echo with a set

so like `set filenew=%%~dpnA`?

and: is this good: `for /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ("%file%") DO set filenr=%%A.aiff`

because it seems not. when i try to `echo %filenr`, it just gives `echo is off`, so it did not created the variable, or it is empty. What i did above was changing the extension in the variable to .aiff.

`echo %filenr%` of course.
