What's the command syntax for stripping out the tar.gz file extension in a bash command line (not script file). Thanks!

prompt/> ls *.tar.gz | <what comes here?>

Thank you!

How about using sed to remove the extension and print:

ls | grep tar.gz | sed 's/\.tar\.gz//g'

ls *.tar.gz | sed 's/\.tar\.gz//g'

for file in *.tar.gz; do echo "${file%.tar.gz}"; done

Another variation on bipinajith's theme:

ls | sed -n '/\.tar\.gz$/s///p'
