What is the quickest easiest way to turn the string "somepicture.jpg" into the string "somepicture" with lingo.
So for any string of a file name removes the extension and the "."

Thanks
 
Heres how to hack off the last four Characters from a string:
----
mystring = "somepicture.jpg"
mystring = mystring.char[1..mystring.length - 4]
----

mystring is the string. All it does is set mystring to itself minus the last 4 characters. Have fun.
