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

Within a tell "Finder" block this collects file names stripped of the extension in myNames:

repeat with f in myFiles
    set myNames's end to ¬
        (f's name as text)'s text 1 thru -(((f's name extension as text)'s length) + 2)
end repeat
