Before we get started:

Here is the link for the template that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple interface for our application. This code will only display the html list and buttons. To create this simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css" />
	</head>
<body>
	<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
		<div class="container-fluid">
			<a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
		</div>
	</nav>
	<div class="col-md-3"></div>
	<div class="col-md-6 well">
		<h3 class="text-primary">How to Remove File Extension Dynamically</h3>
		<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
		<h2>List of File</2>
		<br />
		<div class="col-md-5">
			<br />
			<center><button class="btn btn-success" onclick="resetList();">Reset</button></center>
			<button class="btn btn-danger" onclick="removeEx('remove');">Remove</button> <button class="btn btn-info" onclick="removeEx('display');">Extension Only</button>
		</div>
		<div class="col-md-7">
			<ol type="I" style="font-size:20px;" id="result"></ol>
		</div>
	</div>
<script src="script.js"></script>	
</body>	
</html>

Creating JavaScript Function

This is where the main function of the application is. This code will remove the file extension when the button is clicked. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

var names=["style.css", "index.html", "anime.mp4", "image.jpg", "music.mp3", "funny.gif", "newChar.png"];
let html="";
 
displayList();
 
function displayList(){
	html="";
	for(var i=0; i<names.length; i++){
		html+="<li>"+names[i]+"</li>";
	}
 
	document.getElementById('result').innerHTML=html;
}
 
function resetList(){
	displayList();
}
 
function removeEx(str){
	if(str=="remove"){
		html="";
		for(var i=0; i<names.length; i++){
			var list=names[i].split(".");
			html+="<li>"+list[0]+"</li>";
		}
 
	}else if(str=="display"){
		html="";
		for(var i=0; i<names.length; i++){
			var list=names[i].split(".");
			html+="<li>"+list[1]+"</li>";
		}
 
 
	}
	document.getElementById('result').innerHTML=html;
}

The code above only create one method to remove the file extension called removeEx(). This function will remove the file extension on the list. This code use a special javascript function called split(), this function will remove any elements base on the parameter you have set.
