Why is everyone so focused on manipulating the string? What's the matter with my original idea:
set the_File to (choose file) tell application "Finder" set extension_hidden to the extension hidden of the_File set the extension hidden of the_File to true set the File_Name to the displayed name of the_File set extension hidden of the_File to extension_hidden end tell the File_Name
