How can I get just the name of a file without the extension? If I use

set theName to (text 1 thru ¬
(offset of "." in theFile) of theFile)

with say file '123.jpg' I get '123.' I want just 123 without the "."

set fileAlias to alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:0906.1929v1.pdf"

tell application "Finder"

set extLen to 2 + (length of ((name extension of fileAlias) as text))

(get name of fileAlias) as text

set fileName to text 1 thru -extLen of the result

end tell
