You would use a regular expression to do that (If you have Perl installed, in DOS type perldoc perlre)

You would use the search and replace function.
$file = "index.shtml";
$file =~ s/.shtml//;

the ~ after the = means that the following is a regular expression. The rest means "find '.shtml' in $file and replace it with nothing (//)". The above would only search and replace in $file once. If you had for instance
$file = "index.shtml,another.shtml,onemore.shtml";
You would use
$file =~ s/.shtml//g;

Hope that helps.
