Get file name without extension?

Question

I'm new to C++ world, I stuck with a very trivial problem i.e. to get file name without extension.

I have TCHAR variable containing sample.txt, and need to extract only sample, I used PathFindFileName function it just return same value what I passed.

I tried googling for solution but still no luck?!

EDIT: I always get three letter file extension, I have added the following code, but at the end I get something like Montage (2)««þîþ how do I avoid junk chars at the end?

TCHAR* FileHandler::GetFileNameWithoutExtension(TCHAR* fileName)
{
    int fileLength = _tcslen(fileName) - 4;
    TCHAR* value1 = new TCHAR;
    _tcsncpy(value1, fileName, fileLength);
    return value1;
}

You can use PathRemoveExtension function to remove extension from filename.

To get only the file name (with extension), you may have first to use PathStripPath, followed by PathRemoveExtension.
