Hi folks,

When I use this:

filename = os.path.basename(savecases)

I get something like "summer_light.sav"; the extension comes as well. Please, is there a python code to shorten it to "summer_light" only, I mean, to get rid of the extension ?

Thanks a lot, Andre

There are a number of ways to do this in Python. One approach is to use "splitext" instead of "basename":

filename, extension = os.path.splitext(savecases)

or if you're only interested in the file name and not the extension...

filename = os.path.splitext(savecases)[0]
