Strip Output File Extension


This option removes the last file extension from the name of the compiled file, but only when specifying an output directory and not giving an extension. If leaving the output directory blank, this option becomes non-applicable and has no effect on the naming of the file. The following is a summary of the rules applying to tokenized file names and extensions:

Case 1: Output file extension supplied.

The tokenized file is named with the specified extension. The Output Directory and Strip Output File Extension options do not affect file naming.

Case 2: No output file extension supplied. No output directory supplied.

The tokenized file is located in the same directory as the source file and has the same name as the source file, minus the last extension of the source file.

Case 3: No output file extension supplied. Output directory specified. Strip Output File Extension set to 'false'.

The tokenized file is placed in the output directory, and has the same name and file extension as the source file.

Case 4: No output file extension supplied. Output directory specified. Strip Output File Extension set to 'true'.

The tokenized file is placed in the output directory, and has the same name as the source file, minus the last extension of the source file.
