It really works well. : (file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name)) P.s. Is there any good reference point of the manual to manipulate the time related strings, time, date, month, year, etc, like file name? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

In "39 Operating System Interface" there are 3 sections that probably contain something for you: * Time of Day: Getting the current time. * Time Conversion: Converting a time from numeric form to calendrical data, and vice versa). * Time Parsing: Converting a time from numeric form to text and vice versa.

(file-name-sans-extension (buffer-name)) A quick way to discover commands is to type: C-h f <first-few-letters> TAB (C-h = Ctrl h) so, to find out about file-* commands type: C-h f file TAB and keep pressing TAB to cycle through the numerous results in the pop-up window. Add some more letters and type TAB again to narrow your search and when you've found a command you're interested in type RET. There's also 'M-x apropos'. (M-x = Alt-x or ESC-x) Type 'C-h f apropos RET' to learn about the 'apropos' command.
