Getting only the filename with no extension
 

This code
Code:
--------------------
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1)

--------------------
works almost perfect for my needs; however, I need it to drop the
extension to where only the name of the name of the file is left.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Wouldn't you know, I found it.
Code:
--------------------
=MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))+1,FIND(".",CELL("filename", A1))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1)
--------------------

if all of the extensions are three characters try
=left(MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1),len(MID(CELL("filename",A1),FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))+1,FIND("]",CELL("filename",A1))-FIND("[",CELL("filename",A1))-1))-4)
