UBlueprintPathsLibrary::GetBaseFilename

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.20

#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns the same result as GetCleanFilename, but with the extension removed as well. Set bRemovePath=false to keep the directory portion.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The bRemovePath parameter is easy to overlook — leaving it at the default true silently drops any directory information, which can surprise callers expecting a full path minus extension.
• A filename with multiple dots (e.g. "Archive.tar.gz") only has the last extension removed, leaving "Archive.tar".

Signature

InPath	const FString&	The path or filename to extract the base name from.	—

Examples

Get filename without extension or path C++

FString Base = UBlueprintPathsLibrary::GetBaseFilename(TEXT("Content/Textures/Rock.png"));
// Base == TEXT("Rock")

Keep the directory, drop only the extension C++

FString BaseWithPath = UBlueprintPathsLibrary::GetBaseFilename(TEXT("Content/Textures/Rock.png"), false);
// BaseWithPath == TEXT("Content/Textures/Rock")
