That could even be condensed to



Code:
$ TDIR="path/to/data"
$ awk '
         {NFN = $0 = FILENAME ":" $0
         sub (/\..*$/, "_file.txt", NFN)
         sub (/^[^\.]*\./, "")
         sub (/\.txt:/, "=")
         print > NFN
        }' ${TDIR}/*

Be aware that for larger numbers of output files, you'd need to append to the files, and close them after each append.
