If i'm editing a file, such as
/src/test/service.spec.js
And I want to echo service using expand, is there a better way than:
:echo expand("%:t:r:r")
I want to be able to handle cases where multiple file extensions might be present, and doing :r:r seems a bit narrow.
Maybe you could try using split() to split the filename (expand('%:t')) whenever there's a literal dot \.. It would return a list whose first item ([0]) should be what you are looking for:
:echo split(expand('%:t'), '\.')[0]
