Thank you Richard. I knew there must be something there, but the size
of the toolbox gets the best of us sometimes.

Okay,
I've never had to do this in DX before. How can I truncate a string?
I have the String value "abc.txt" and I just want the resultant
string "abc". If strncpy was implemented, it would be easy. Any
advice?
Use the Parse module. For your example using the format string
"%[^.].txt" would suffice. Unfortunately the parse module doesnt
seem to handle the more obvious "%s.txt".
