# Documentation

isExtensionOf :: String -> FilePath -> Bool Source #

Does the given filename have the specified extension?

    "png" `isExtensionOf` "/directory/file.png" == True
    ".png" `isExtensionOf` "/directory/file.png" == True
    ".tar.gz" `isExtensionOf` "bar/foo.tar.gz" == True
    "ar.gz" `isExtensionOf` "bar/foo.tar.gz" == False
    "png" `isExtensionOf` "/directory/file.png.jpg" == False
    "csv/table.csv" `isExtensionOf` "/data/csv/table.csv" == False

stripExtension :: String -> FilePath -> Maybe FilePath Source #

Drop the given extension from a FilePath, and the `"."` preceding it. Returns `Nothing` if the FilePath does not have the given extension, or `Just` and the part before the extension if it does.

This function can be more predictable than `dropExtensions`, especially if the filename might itself contain `.` characters.

    stripExtension "hs.o" "foo.x.hs.o" == Just "foo.x"
    stripExtension "hi.o" "foo.x.hs.o" == Nothing
    dropExtension x == fromJust (stripExtension (takeExtension x) x)
    dropExtensions x == fromJust (stripExtension (takeExtensions x) x)
    stripExtension ".c.d" "a.b.c.d"  == Just "a.b"
    stripExtension ".c.d" "a.b..c.d" == Just "a.b."
    stripExtension "baz"  "foo.bar"  == Nothing
    stripExtension "bar"  "foobar"   == Nothing
    stripExtension ""     x          == Just x
