I am making a game launcher and it launches custom maps for a game called QUAKE 3. Basically, it writes the name of some maps (actual files) to a text file. QUAKE 3 can exec The only problem is... QUAKE 3 adds in the .bsp file extention in the game. The map name is taken from: File2.FileName
So when in the game, it can't execute the map, and it thinks I'm specifiying smash3.bsp.bsp. So I would like to know how to get rid of the .bsp in the text, after my app outputted to the text file. Anything... ANYBODY!?

You strip off the .bsp before writing to your output file.
code for VB6
Code:
Private Function RemoveExtension(Filename As String, ExtToRemove As String) As String
RemoveExtension = Replace(Filename, "." & ExtToRemove, "")
End Function
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox RemoveExtension(Text1.Text, "bsp")
End Sub
Code for VB5
Code:
Private Function RemoveExtension(Filename As String, ExtToRemove As String) As String
Dim intPos As Integer
intPos = InStr(1, Filename, "." & ExtToRemove)
If intPos > 0 Then
RemoveExtension = Mid(Filename, 1, intPos - 1) & Mid(Filename, intPos + Len(ExtToRemove) + 1)
Else
RemoveExtension = Filename
End If
End Function
Private Sub Command1_Click()
MsgBox RemoveExtension(Text1.Text, "bsp")
End Sub

I'm not completely sure what you are asking but maybe this can help:
Code:
If Right(ProblemString, 4) = ".bsp" Then
ProblemString = Left(ProblemString, Len(ProblemString) - 4)
End If
Hope this helps.
