A lot of this depends on how you are presenting the input -- whether if is a
file reference, a text list of Apple- or Unix-style paths, and so on. As
others have said, you need to say more about what you are trying to do.
In the meantime, and just to show there are many ways to skin this
particular cat, here's a way to get "filename-without-extension":
set theFile to (choose file)
set tmp to (reverse of (every character of (get name of (info for
theFile)))) as text
return (reverse of every character of (get text ((offset of
"." in tmp) + 1) thru -1 of tmp)) as text
Hey -- I never said it was a *good* way :-)
