Hi,  
with this code I grab an image from a page bundle.  
I link a resource from frontmatter.

```auto
     {{ $img := (.Resources.ByType "image").GetMatch "featured-image" }}
     {{ with $img }}
     {{ partial "tools/img" (dict "img" . "alt" $img.Title ) }}
     {{ end }}

```

Frontmatter

```auto
resources:
  - name: featured-image
    src: ImageName.jpg

```

I’m trying to cut the image file extension from: ImageName.jpg to ImageName to put it in the “alt” tag. Which approach do you recommend? Any advice?

You could try

{{ $imageName := “foo.jpg” }}  
{{ $imageName = $imageName | strings.TrimSuffix (path.Ext $imageName )}}

Or something…

Thanks @bep it works!

For clarity, I report the complete code:

```auto
            {{ $img := (.Resources.ByType "image").GetMatch "featured-image" }}
            {{ with $img }}
            {{ $imageName := $img.Title }}
            {{ $imageName = $imageName | strings.TrimSuffix (path.Ext $imageName )}}

            {{ partial "tools/img" (dict "img" . "alt" $imageName ) }}
            {{ end }}

```
