Strip Output File Extension

An option used to remove the last file extension from the name of the compiled file, but only when an output directory has been specified and no extension has been given. If the output directory has been left 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 in BBxPROGRESSION/4:

Case 1: No output directory supplied.

If the source file has an extension, the tokenized file will be located in the same directory as the source file and will have the same name as the source file, minus the last extension of the source file. If the source file has no extension, the tokenized file will be located in the same directory and will have the same name as the source file, with the extension '.bbx' appended. The Strip Output File Extension parameter has no effect in either case.

Case 2: Output directory specified. Strip Output File Extension set to 'false'.

The tokenized file will be placed in the output directory, and will have the same name and file extension as the source file.

Case 3: Output directory specified. Strip Output File Extension set to 'true'.

The tokenized file will be placed in the output directory, and will have the same name as the source file, minus the last extension of the source file.
