names1

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!
You will need a sophisticated regular _expression_ engine, such as
the Satimage.osax. You would do:
set names1 to change "\\..*" into "" in
names1 with regexp
