Copy all text in a string prior to the last period...
I am trying to gather all text before the last period in
strings of text, for example I want to take everything
before the file extension below, and place that in a
new cell. Any thoughts how I can accomplish this? I
appreciate the help. Thanks.

If your files are all named with the same structure that you showed us in
your sample names, then you can simply do this...
