I have a app that loads the files from a directory. It works fine but I
don't want the path to have the extension on the end. Some of the files are
'.rtf' and the others are '.txt' Right now it goes through a loop and puts
all the file names in an array that is put in a table. How do I get rid of
the extension so the user doesn't see it?

Although you can always use stringByDeletingPathExtension, I would argue the user well may *want to* see the extension (I would, for one), and thus you should use displayNameAtPath: of NSFileManager, which takes into account the appropriate Finder preset (and concrete file metadata, if any).
