Actually, I missed a trick there.

And I was still not thinking straight. Sorry. Please replace that last effort with:


-------------------

to strip_extensions from l to e
	set tid to text item delimiters
	set text item delimiters to return
	set l to (l as Unicode text) & return
	repeat
		set text item delimiters to "."
		if (count l's text items) is 1 then exit repeat
		set text item delimiters to "." & paragraph 1 of l's text item -1
		set l to l's text items
		set text item delimiters to ""
		set l to l as Unicode text
	end repeat
	set text item delimiters to e & return
	set l to l's text items
	set text item delimiters to return
	set l to text 1 thru -2 of (l as Unicode text)
	set text item delimiters to tid
	l's paragraphs
end strip_extensions

set names1 to {"231-001_M.tif", "231-001.tif", "231-001.jpg", "231-001-a_M.tif", "231-001-a.tif", "231-001-a.jpg"}

set names1 to strip_extensions from names1 to "_M"

--> {"231-001", "231-001", "231-001", "231-001-a", "231-001-a", "231-001-a"}
