Example:

http://play.golang.org/p/cJNuTP6nJN

My example implementation of the function:

func removeExtension(filename string) string {
    return filename[0:len(filename)-len(path.Ext(filename))]
}

In Python this works like this:

>>> import os
>>> os.path.splitext("/a/b/foo.ogg")
('/a/b/foo', '.ogg')
>>> os.path.splitext("/a/b/foo.")
('/a/b/foo', '.')
>>> os.path.splitext("/a/b/foo")
('/a/b/foo', '')

Can we have something like this in the path pkg?

Comment 1:

Note: if we add this to path we should add it to path/filepath as well.

Labels changed: added priority-later, packagechange, removed priority-triage.

Comment 2:

return strings.TrimSuffix(path.Ext(filename))
That's easy enough that adding more functions to path and filepath does not seem
warranted.

Status changed to WorkingAsIntended.
