[RESOLVED] Making a bingo game with words for kindergarten

[Justin M]

Hi there folks! I am working on a bingo game to teach kindergarten students sight words. I have recorded a bunch of mp3 files, and put them in a filelist. Basically, the program randomly picks a filename from the filelist, puts into a label caption and calls it. However, I would like to put the filename without the file type into a label caption. So if the filename was "because.mp3" .. could I use left$ to just cut of the filename without the filetype? If that is the case, how would the left$ function know how many characters to go over because some words might be shorter than some. I mean they all have .mp3 at the end so, maybe that could be the reference?

Any tips would be awesome!

Thanks!

Use InstrRev and find first "." then use Left$ to get the name

name = Left$(filename, InStrRev(filename, ".") - 1)
