remove extension from file name Options

[Tiff 1998]

Hello,

I have a script that copies the anchor text when I click on a link and copies it to a text input. The problem I have is that I need to remove the file extension before it gets copied.
This is what I have:

CODE

$(function () {
    $('#rightbox a').on('click', function () {
        var text = $('#myfilename');
        text.val($(this).text());    
        $Form.click();
    });
});

Any help would be very appeciated, I am completly new to javascript. I have found some info about regex and last indexof, but have no idea how to use them.

Sorry btw the links are like this:

CODE

<a href="/family_photos/filename1.jpg">filename1.jpg</a>
<a href="/family_photos/filename2.jpg">filename2.jpeg</a>
