Re: Problem with extract EXT + NOEXT

Hi Chris

You should consider this behaviour as a bonus, not only
capable of retrieving the extension of a file name, but also
capable of retrieving (part of) folder names that contain dots.
I always preceed extract ... ext/noext with extract ... file
when I want to know the file extension. Just to be sure that
the extension applies to the file name only and not to the whole
file path.
