How to rename original file name without extension after file upload?

Hi guys,

I am trying to create a rename function which will allow the user to rename the original file name of the uploaded file.

I can rename the whole name however, I don't want the user to be able to edit the extension rather just the name on its own.

e.g. if an uploaded file is named 'testDocument.pdf' I just want the user to see and be able to rename 'testDocument'

thanks in advance.

At what point do you offer this functionality to the user? The server will know nothing of the uploaded file until a request is sent - then a further request is required to rename the file??

Thanks for you reply @tykus It is offered after the file is uploaded.

There is a documents section which lists all uploaded files and there is an option where the user can rename the file.

I am just trying to figure out how to just change the text on its own without editing the extension. I don't want users to remove the extension when renaming.

hope that makes sense.
