some more ways

the first is one with awk
echo `basename <program-path>` | awk -F"." '{print $1}'

this one is with sed but no of characters in extension need to be known in prior
for 3 character extension
echo `basename <program-path>` | sed -e 's/\....//'

advancement to the above method, no of characters in extension need not be known

echo `basename <program-path>` | sed -e 's/\..*//'

rumakeindex

rumakeindex(1)                                                         teTeX                                                        rumakeindex(1)

NAME

       rumakeindex - process a LaTeX index using Russian Cyrillic characters

SYNOPSIS

       rumakeindex basename

DESCRIPTION

       rumakeindex is used to run makeindex(1) on idx files that use Russian characters.  It is part of the T2 package.

       rumakeindex runs sed(1) on the idx file to convert Cyrillic character commands to 8-bit ASCII characters; pipes the results through makein-
       dex(1); and then through tr(1) to do some final conversions.  The results are placed in a KOI8-R encoded ind file.

FILES

       basename.idx
              LaTeX index entry file

       basename.ilg
              LaTeX index log file

       basename.ind
              LaTeX processed index file

BUGS

       None known, but report any bugs found to the authors.
