Get extension of file

Description

This is based on the work of Afrow UK. This more accuretly reports the extention: For path "C:\some dir\some file with no extention"

 Afrow UK's implementation will return the original string as "extention"

For path "C:\Installation.CD\some file with no extention"

 Afrow UK's implementation will return "CD\some file with no extention" as extention.

In both cases this function will return "" (empty) as extention.

Usage

  Push "C:\some path\filename.extention"
  Call GetFileExt
  Pop $R0             ; $R0 = "extention"

The Function

    IntOp $1 $1 - 1
    StrCpy $2 $0 1 $1
    StrCmp $2 "" empty
