removing the filename extension

Is there an easy way to strip off a filename's extension?

For example, here's a filename:

blahblahblah.thisisok.thisisnotok

I want to get rid of .thisisnotok from the filename, so that what's left is

blahblahblah.thisisok

Thanks. I have a directory full of filenames that need to be manipulated in this way.
