Getting some chars from a string?

[Björnke von Gierke]

you already got a few interesting entries to try, but I haven't seen this one. I'd use this, because I suck at regexp and because one never know if someone added a suffix of "jpeg" or "jpg" or "j" or...

function removeSuffix theName
  set the itemdelimiter to "."
  return item 1 to -2 of theName
end removeSuffix
