Hello All,

I'ver got a csv file that gets bulked inputted on a daily basis. An example of the data is like the below

sFolderFile
C:\Source\Database
C:\Source\EmptyContentDocumentLoadContentDocument.bat
C:\Source\EmptyContentDocumentLoadContentDocument.sql
C:\Source\Export
C:\Source\foldersFiles.txt
C:\Source\GetFoldersFiles.bat
C:\Source\Import
C:\Source\Database\Source.mdf
C:\Source\Database\Source_log.ldf
C:\Source\Export\ContentDocument.csv

i'm running the below query to return row's that have a file extension.

select
sFolderFile as [FullPath],
SUBSTRING(sFolderFile, CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile) + 1, len(sFolderFile)) as [FileExtension],
reverse(left(reverse(sFolderFile),charindex('\',reverse(sFolderFile),1)-1)) as [FullFileName]
from tblTempFolderFile
where
len(SUBSTRING(sFolderFile, CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile) + 1, len(sFolderFile))) = 3
or
len(SUBSTRING(sFolderFile, CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile) + 1, len(sFolderFile))) = 4

But i'm stuck trying to get the file name without the file extension.

Any help would be great ?

[CODE]

select
sFolderFile as [FullPath],
(CASE WHEN CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile)= 0 THEN 'NULL'
ELSE SUBSTRING(sFolderFile, CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile) + 1, len(sFolderFile)) END) as [FileExtension],
reverse(left(reverse(sFolderFile),charindex('\',reverse(sFolderFile),1)-1)) as [FullFileName]
from @TEMP
where
len(SUBSTRING(sFolderFile, CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile) + 1, len(sFolderFile))) = 3
or
len(SUBSTRING(sFolderFile, CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile) + 1, len(sFolderFile))) = 4
or
CHARINDEX('.', sFolderFile)= 0
[/CODE]
