WordFind2X question
InputString: C:\Path\to\myFile\myFile.exe

${WordFind2X} "$Input" "\" "." "-1" $File

this gives me the filename without the extension, but it's not working when the filename contains dots. i tried a couple of other variants by chance, as i think the documentation on the wiki isn't the best - but i couldn't get it to work as desired.

maybe some of the english tongues can improve the docs for all of instructor's word functions, i think they're not that clear.

I don't think you will be able to filter the path with a single call to the word functions. I suggest doing it in three steps, first remove the drive and colon, second remove the part before all backslashes ('\\'), finally remove the last '.' and the extension:

${WordFind} "$Input" ":" "+1}" $0  ; returns $Input if no ':'
${WordFind} "$0" "\" "-1}" $0
${WordFind} "$0" "." "-1{" $File
