you can use the following command also for same.

Code:
 salida=`echo "prueba.txt" | awk '{gsub(/\..*/,X,$0);print "result= " $0}'`

Output will be as follows.

Code:
echo $salida
result= prueba

Thanks,
R. Singh

Will it work if s= `awk '{gsub(/\..*/,X,$0);print "result= " $0}'` ?

That depends on what you are trying to do.

If you are trying to run the commands named by stripping everything following the 1st period on every line found until awk hits EOF while reading standard input for your shell script with the environment variable s set to an empty string for the 1st command executed and the remaining commands executed without s in their environment then, yes, it will work. Is that what you are trying to do?
