I think you need to use a macro to strip the extension, then assign the string to an #S variable, and put it in the job notes section of the jobfile. Then use the #INCLUDE template word in your tmp file to output the variable.

When generating code for a machine the file name is, for instance, C:\TAPES\1234.NC the .NC is required for DNC software. In the second line of the template file :#FILE therefore outputs :1234.NC How do I 'strip' the .NC off so that :1234 is output in the code whilst the file name remains 1234.NC?
