Hello, You can use ?basename to write a file.stem function: basename("/the/path/to/afile.txt") file.stem <- function(x){ bn <- basename(x) gsub("\\..*$", "", bn) } file.stem("/the/path/to/afile.txt") Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 15-07-2013 15:23, Witold E Wolski escreveu:> Looking for a function which returns the stem of the filename given a path. > i.e. >> file.stem("/the/path/to/afile.txt") >> afile > > regards >
