Subject: Stripping the extensions off of a file...

I'm building a program that goes thru a file structure, and it will find
the longest filename and biggest files.


Find.find(directory) do |f|
     file_sizes[File.size(f)]= f
     if File.file?(f)
         file_stripper = File.basename(f).delete(".jpg") #FIGURE OUT TO
STRIP THE ExTENSION

         file_length[f] = file_stripper
     end

   end


I got that part, but I can't seem to be able to strip the extension,
because I don't want to count the extensions part part of the length.

Can the delete method take regexep? WHat would the regexep for something
like anything after the "."?

thanks!
