Hi,
I'm setting up custom tools in Eclipse and trying to pick out the name of a
file, without using the extension. For example if the filename is 'hello.c',
I'd like the tool arguments to pick out the name 'hello' and drop the file
extension.
I went through all the project variables supplied by Eclipse and none of
them gives this option. Do I need to create a makefile in order to have this
kind of functionality? I'm using Windows, so if there is a way to do this in
a batch file that would also be helpful.
Note: The reason for this is I need to run the compiled binary file using an
emulator. This file has no extension, and uses the same name as the main
source file.

You can do this using Windows batch files. The syntax is %~nx where x is the
index of the argument containing the full file name. See the topic "Using
batch parameters" in "Support and help" for more details.
