Wish to

Create a list of all executables .exe in the Windows* folder and the output should contain only the names of the files without the .exe ending.

Q: Preceding text of first “.” of (names of files whose (name of it as lowercase ends with “.exe”) of windows folder)

Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks

Gigi,

Try this:

q: Preceding texts of firsts “.” of names of files whose (name of it as lowercase ends with “.exe”) of windows folder

or even better:

q: Preceding texts of firsts “.” of names whose (it as lowercase ends with “.exe”) of files of windows folder

Note the “s” at the end of “texts” and “firsts” in the statements above. If you want to display a list of results, you need to make your statements plural.

hope that helps,

Marjan

Thanks a million Marjan for the prompt reply, it was the “firsts” that got me.
