Removing file extentions from ansistrings

I'm trying to create a spelling program that slects an audio file plays it and then compares the input in a txtbox to check if the filename matches the input. at the moment however the filename still contains the .wav extention at the end. Any ideas how to remove this would be gratefully appreciated

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

std::string removeExt(std::string);

int main() {
    std::string filename = "mymusic.wav";
    filename = removeExt(filename);
   
    std::string filename2 = "myfriends.music.mpeg";
    filename2 = removeExt(filename2);
   
    std::cout << filename << std::endl << filename2;
    std::cin.get();
    return 0;
}

std::string removeExt(std::string filename) {
    int extPos = filename.rfind(".",filename.size() - 1);
    filename = filename.substr(0,extPos);
    return filename;
};

---

Output:

Code:

---

mymusic
myfriends.music

What if the filename is something like "test.wav.mp3.mpeg", then your solution would fail. Try find_last_of instead of find.

Ick, who names their files like that?

Hopefully nobody lol, but who knows...

I have seen some people name their files "filename.inc.php"....
