(C++) How do I remove a filename's extension?

include <string>

include <cassert>


std::string stripExtension(const std::string& fileName)
{
  const int length = fileName.length();
  for (int i=0; i!=length; ++i)
  {
    if (fileName[i]=='.') 
    {
      return fileName.substr(0,i);
    }
  }
  return fileName;
}
int main()
{
  assert(stripExtension("Test.txt")=="test");
}
