Text items

Title: Text items
I have the following code:

    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
    repeat with i from 1 to c1
        set item i of names1 to text item 1 of item i of names1
    end repeat

This will for example take the file name without the “.xxx” extension for every file name in a list (I know there can be “.” elsewhere in the name, but for this purpose, our naming conventions do not permit it.)

Is there some way to do this without the loop? For example, this does not work:

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
set names1 to text item 1 of every item of names1

Thanks in advance!
