I have now retired and am taking on no new work. I'd like to thank all our customers over the past 20 years. It really has been a most enjoyable time.
FoxPro JustExt() function
The VFP JustExt() function returns the extension from a string containing a file name. For example:
would return:
If the file has no extension, or if the file name just ends in a period, then an empty string will be returned.
As with JustDrive(), JustExt() does not look at the file system or check that the parameter is a properly formed name or path. All that it does is look for the final period in a string and return the characters that follow it.
Note that this implies that the function will return the final extension from a file name that includes two periods and two extensions.
VBA equivalent
Microsoft Access does not have equivalents to these FoxPro file name commands so I wrote this library Visual Basic functions to do give me the same facilities in VBA.
