// load W:\job\HS4142A.PM4 as the sample file for this macro
#VAR1=GET_NAME(SHPFILE())// returns HS4142A.pm4
#VAR2=GET_PATH(SHPFILE())// returns W:\JOB\
#VAR3=STRIP_EXT(SHPFILE())// returns W:\JOB\HS4142A
#VAR4=GET_NAME(JOBFILE())// returns HS4142A.JOF
#VAR5=GET_PATH(JOBFILE())// returns W:\JOB\
#VAR6=STRIP_EXT(JOBFILE())// returns W:\JOB\HS4142A
#VAR7=STRTMP("%#VAR1 ++ %#VAR2 ++ %#VAR3")// returns HS4142A.pm4 ++
W:\JOB\ ++ W:\JOB\HS4142A
#VAR7_LEN=STRLEN(#VAR7)// returns 40 which is the maximum length of a
con-cat-en-ated (excuse the spaelling) string
#VAR8=STRSUB(#VAR1,1,6)// returns HS4142
#VAR10=B.JOB
#VAR9=STRTMP("%#VAR2%#VAR8%#VAR10")// returns W:\JOB\HS4142B.JOB
//#VAR1=""// this nullifies VAR1
Looks like #VAR3 is the answer.

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
