Question

Please help me to find an elegant way to get file path without extension; cut off file extension from path or something.

Answer 1

Check the Path::file_stem method. You can find an example there. It works at least from Rust 1.6.

Is there a method which gets the full absolute path before extension, not just the filename? – Crowell

do you know the bahaviour if the file name has two extensions like "file.abc.xyz"? – Musketeer

@AndrewMackenzie the linked docs answer this: it returns "the portion of the file name before the final ." – Phineas

Answer 2

Using the Path::with_extension("") method gives you the full path with a possible file extension removed.

Eventual

This correctly answers the question, as if the input is a path with intermediate directories, this returns the full path, with the file_stem. – Musketeer
