[Caml-list] Filename.split_extension

[Hendrik Boom]

I'm trying to use split a filename with a extension into the bane abd 
the extension.

I've found Filename.split_extension in 
https://ocaml.janestreet.com/ocaml-core/109.07.00/doc/core/Filename.html
but it seems not to be available on the Ocaml I'm using.  Though 
Filename.dirname and Filename.basename are available.

Now th documentation I used was from jandstreet.  It's entirelly 
possible that "normal" Ocaml has a different library, and different 
documentation.

Where should I be looking?

I see.  There's a funcction to test for a particulat extension 
(check_suffix), and functions to chop the suffix off (chop_suffix if 
you know what it is and chop_extension if you don't) but none to return 
the extension.

OK.  I can manage with that.

The Filename module is a little bit underpowered you might be interested in this PR:  

https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/669

which will be available in 4.04.  

If you don't mind a dependency you could use

Best,
