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

set theName to (text 1 thru ¬

with say file '123.jpg' I get '123.' I want just 123 without the "."
Various people have shown different ways of munging the full name
string (though no one has suggested using basename(1) yet...), but
to elaborate on what Finder itself offers, there are three
different properties in Finder relating to the "name" of a file:
name: the name as it appears in the file system, always including
the extension.
displayed name: the name as it appears in Finder, taking the "hide
extension" settings into account.
name extension: just the extension, if any.
Bear in mind that Finder's idea of an "extension" is based on
Launch Services and what extensions have been registered by
applications on your system, not just whatever comes after the last
dot in the name. For example, if you ask what the "name extension"
is of a file named "foo.potrzebie", you'll get "".
Curious.
Here is a log report:
tell application "Finder"
get name extension of alias "Macintosh HD:Users:yvan_koenig:Desktop:
4bugHunters - c.yvankoenigineok"
"yvankoenigineok"
end tell
I would be surprised if you may confirm that "yvankoenigineok" is a
valid name extension ;-)
