Does groovy have an easy way to get a filename without the extension?

Question

Say I have something like this:

new File("test").eachFile() { file->   println file.getName()   } 

This prints the full filename of every file in the test directory. Is there a Groovy way to get the filename without any extension? (Or am I back in regex land?)

Answer 1

I believe the grooviest way would be:

file.name.lastIndexOf('.').with {it != -1 ? file.name[0..<it] : file.name} 

or with a simple regexp:

file.name.replaceFirst(~/\.[^\.]+$/, '') 

also there's an apache commons-io java lib for that kinda purposes, which you could easily depend on if you use maven:

org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils.getBaseName(file.name) 

Answer 2

The cleanest way.

String fileWithoutExt = file.name.take(file.name.lastIndexOf('.'))
