Hi! I would like to display the name of the .wav file loaded from the HDD (using [openpanel]), but, without a full path and without the file extension. For example, [openpanel] outputs "symbol C:/Users/Hrvoje/Desktop/my_patches/SAMP_SEQ/samples/BD.wav" and I just want "BD" to be displayed. Is it possible in pd vanilla? Thank you for the help!Cheers!

[list trim] works for symbols too! A little known secret. ________________________________ From: Pd-list pd-list-bounces@lists.iem.at on behalf of Hrvoje Radnic via Pd-list pd-list@lists.iem.at Sent: 23 September 2017 13:33 To: Pd-List Subject: [PD] trim symbols?

You can use [list fromsymbol] to convert the symbol to a list of ASCII values and than work on that. See attached patch, it should do what you want.
Note that the patch assumes that the ending (like .wav) is always 4 characters. Also it uses a simple list-drip mechanism that should be efficient for small lists, in doubt use list-drip of list-abs instead.
best wishes, ingo

Wow, thanks everybody for great solutions!
Ingo's answer is the most satisfying for me because it stays in vanilla. For now, I will just subpatch it in my project and use it as a reference, but I must admit it will take some time before I really understand every part of that patch. All the best!

I've always used [splitfilename] from iemlib for this. Or is it considered depreciated and there is a vanilla way to do this now? I might change my patches to remove the iemlib dependency.

Err, should have read the previous answers first. Consider this answered.
