how can i get ONLY the file name from a variable?
example:
$var = "F:\Trends_Analysis\data\data_creation\batchtest\emp805575.jpg"


all i want is "emp805575" with NO EXTENSTION.

is this possible?

I need to project a raster dataset from sphere/geodetic to an
orthographic
projection. ER Mapper 6.3 seems to have problems making the conversion.
I
get an error saying that the extents can not be determined or that
there is
no ability to go from the geodetic data to an orthographic projection. 
Does
anyone have a way to work around this? What intermediate projection
might
work?

use split.  split the string at "." then split the first value in the
resulting array at "\".  the file name will be the last non-null value
in
that array.

Use the "filename" command to get the name of the file itself, then
split the filename at the period and use the first part, i.e.,

$var = "F:\Trends_Analysis\data\data_creation\batchtest\emp805575.jpg"
$fname = filename $var # returns "emp805575.jpg"
$fname_sp = split $fname at "." # split name at dot
$fname_no_ext = $fname_sp[1] # set var to part 1 "emp805575"

If you have multiple dots in the filename (i.e., file1.10m.jpg) then
you'll
need to do a bit more work.

that will work in 6.x and above.  i'm sure most posters out there have
that,
though.
