    Dim filePath As String = "c:\MyDirectory\MYFile.txt"

    Dim extensionPosition As Integer = filePath.LastIndexOf(".")

    Dim filePathNoEx As String = filePath.Substring(0, extensionPosition)

    MsgBox(filePathNoEx)

      Just replace filePath.LastIndexOf(".") with filePath.LastIndexOf("\")

      Hi, This snippet is for someone that WANTs the "Path AND Filename" but NOT the Extension for the filename.

      The code you posted could be used for checking the position of the last slash if you wanted - "the path without the filename" or "filename without the path".

      But I did go ahead and change the slashPosition variable in this code snippet to "extensionPosition" since it sounds more relevent.

      I do thankyou for the comment too :)

      Jason
