Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Strip Pm4 file extention



Can someone help me with this macro. I need to set a variable to the current
pm4 file with the file extension stripped.

For example set the variable to equal "myfile" when the smartcam file is
"myfile.pm4.
I have seen it before but I can not remember the syntax.

Thanks
