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.

DESCRIPTION
gpiv_piv2hdf converts ASCII-formattd PIV-data (filename.piv), derived data, like vorticities (filename.vor), strain (filename.sstr, file-

analysis and post processing are included in filename.hdf.
This program does not use the parameter resources from libgpiv. The parameters may be defined by the command line options as explained
below.
Options
-e Exclude PIV data and data from post-processes.

future use by re-directing stdout to fasty.par.
-v | --version

-V | --verbose
Program behaves more verbose by printing messages to stdout.
