Issue #15244 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). Is this a real problem? How many people have had entries with more leading '.'? File.extname('foobar......jpg') # => ".jpg" File.extname('......jpg') # => "" It's not that I am not inclined to agree about it; I just think it's a bit strange to want to change that behaviour. Do people use lots of '.' for names to files or directories or symlinks? ---------------------------------------- Bug #15244: Method #extname return empty string if filename is dot ('.') https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15244#change-74583 * Author: TiSer (Sergey TiSer) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: 2.5.0p0 * Backport: 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN, 2.5: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- ### Example 1: Current behaviour: ``` File.extname('..jpg') => "" ``` Expected behaviour: ``` File.extname('..jpg') => "." ``` ### Example 2: Current behaviour: ``` File.extname('....jpg') => "" ``` Expected behaviour: ``` => "..." ``` -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
