Substring?

[mike314]

Got a quick one here

I have a textbox on my html page that access some text, but the problem is that the text contains a file extension like .jpg, .html, .wmv etc...

my loop doesn't work

for(var x = 0; x < files.length; x++) {
if (files.charAt(x) == ".")
{mover = mover + files;}
}

files is a variable

a sample input would be
/recent/temp/2/index.jpg

but basically I want just
/recent/temp/2/index

thanks, any help is much appreciated!

how about a regex to replace "a dot followed by one or more characters to the end of the line" with nothing?

 files = files.replace(/\..+$/, "");
