Im trying to read the extension of a file, is there a function like, get_extension(), or something like that?

No, but if you’re using a Directory to get files, you can get the file extension from the name of the file since it’s at the end of the name.

once you get the full path to your file using directory, just use get_extension()
example below
func dir_contents(path):
var dir = Directory.new()
if dir.open(path) == OK:
dir.list_dir_begin()
var file_name = dir.get_next()
while file_name != “”:
if dir.current_is_dir():
print("Found directory: " + file_name)
else:
print("Found file: " + file_name)
file_name = dir.get_next()
print(file_name.get_extension())
else:
print(“An error occurred when trying to access the path.”)
func _on_Button_pressed():
dir_contents(“res://sounds/music”);
under scores have been removed in my above post. so please use correct functions
Thanks

I am a bit late to the party - but for anyone stumbling across this via search engine: Godot Strings provide the exact wished functionality by now: String — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English
