UBlueprintPathsLibrary::GetExtension
#include "Kismet/BlueprintPathsLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintPure
Description
Gets the extension for the given filename, or an empty string if it has none.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • By default the dot is stripped, so "Level.umap" returns "umap", not ".umap" — pass bIncludeDot=true if you need to compare against strings that include the dot.
- • Comparison is purely based on the last '.' in the string; paths with dots in a directory name but no real extension will produce a misleading result.
