Striping process variable

Hello. I would like to strip out the process name from the ${0##*\} variable. So that if I have a script named "mytest.script" the variable would be populated with just "mytest" I have tried doing a substring but it doesnt seem to work.


Code:
name=`expr match "${0}" : './*\(/*.\)'`

Doing this gets me "m". I can do it in 2 steps. But I would like to accomplish in 1 if there is a way.

Thank you,
