Get Parts of a FileInfo object (such as FileName Without Extension)

...That would be the BaseName.

e.g.

> Get-ChildItem . *.linq | ft -property BaseName
calendar

Here's all the members of FileInfo that are most relevant:

Example:

C:\users\user1\dropbox\secretGeek\util\linqPad\calendar.linq

• Name = "calendar.linq" (the name including the extension)
• BaseName = "calendar" (the filename without extension)
• Extension = ".linq" (the extension including the dot)
• FullName = "C:\users\user1\dropbox\secretGeek\util\linqPad\calendar.linq"
• DirectoryName = "C:\users\user1\dropbox\secretGeek\util\linqPad"
• Directory = a DirectoryInfo object where:
  • Directory.Name = "linqPad"
  • Directory.FullName = "C:\users\user1\dropbox\secretGeek\util\linqPad"
  • Directory.Root = a DirectoryInfo object (and as string == "C:")
  • Directory.Parent = a DirectoryInfo object where:
    • Directory.Parent.Name = "util"

(FileInfo and DirectoryInfo -- both derive from FileSystemInfo)
