: Well, the file extension has to be parsed, and there is the case of the filename not having an extension (so the requirement of having to have a file extension ... isn't).   The handling of insensitive case is a minor requirement.   It's a common enough task to warrant it's own task. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:28, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

::I didn't read it quite right the first time and didn't see that the entire filename is an input rather than just its extension. I think it would be better to have a task for separating the file extension from the full filename without the list search task that this one is similar to. The task here is just combining two really simple tasks into an uncommon compound task. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] ([[User talk:Mwn3d|talk]]) 20:50, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
