Uhm, you asked for other ways to do it. We obliged. So now
you're complaining? :) If you think your way is better than the
alternatives, great! Keep using it!

how about

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
