Applescript: Get filenames in folder without extension

Question

I can get the names of all files in a folder by doing this:

tell application \"Finder\"
    set myFiles to name of every file of somePath
end tell
         


        

Answer 1

I don't know how to remove the extensions when you use the "every file" syntax but if you don't mind looping (loop not shown in example) through each file then this will work:

tell application "Finder"
  set myFile to name of file 1 of somePath
  set myFile2 to text 1 thru ((offset of "." in myFile) - 1) of myFile
end tell
