hi

i tried first example powershell throwing following error:

"method invocation failed because [system.io.fileinfo] doesn't contain method named 'indexof'.
@ d:\ariba\scripts\my_script_control\newbalancingcontrolfile.ps1:62 char:56"

 

i have used:

$str=$actualfile.substring(0,$actualfile.indexof("."))

where $actualfile "remittance.csv"

thanks

ps > [io.path]::getfilenamewithoutextension("file.txt") file  ps > $actualfile.substring(0,$actualfile.indexof(".")) file ps > $str = $actualfile.substring(0,$actualfile.indexof(".")) ps > $str file

simple : $actualfile.basename

 

ps > $file = gi c:\windows\win.ini ps > $file.gettype().fullname system.io.fileinfo ps > $file.basename win
