Removing the extension when using the %Current Document Name%

I want to create an action to add a code to my document based on the filename. I have done this but wanted to know if there is a way to remove the extension (".pdf").

TIA

Not that I am aware of.

If we could add a regular expression, the following should do the trick:

Code: Select all

\.[^\.]+$
Having the ability to create our own text variables or to modify standard text variables would be nice.

Could this be done using Switch?

Yes it can be done in a combination of PitStop Server and Switch. Create a Variable set in PitStop Server with a single variable of the type Constant->Text.
In the PitStop Configurator in Switch change that type to "Text with variables" and use [Job.NameProper] as the variable value.
