change extension of file path for export.

[bonassus]

Hopefully someone here will be kind enough to tell me how to do this because I'm pretty hopeless with programing and vex.  

I'm loading a .tiff fill into a heightfield node and doing some operations on it and then I would like to save an .obj of the same name and same location as the .tiff file using a geometry rop. I guess this could be done with a relative reference in the rop and just modifying the strings last three characters. I don't know what the best way to go about this would be. Any one fill like helping?

Thanks

Hi,

the simplest way is to add .obj at the end of relative reference expression in Output File parameter:

`chs("../relative/path_to/parm")`.obj

or if file path of the image doesn't have any dots except before file extension use strsplit() function:

`strsplit(chs("../relative/path_to/parm"), ".", 0)`.obj
