get file name without extension

How to get file name without extension? 

I thought this is so fundamental that it should be provided out of box, but didn't find in https://golang.org/pkg/path/ or https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/. 

Is it not provided by default or I was looking in the wrong places? 

Thanks

You can use Ext() to get the extension:

https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/#Ext

Then it's easy enough to chop the len of those characters off of the end of the original path.

Typo only if you consider a hidden filename an extension.

Isn't the previous version better?

That's just a UNIX convention. path.Ext acts the same way.
