I ended up using the split function. It works but I'm afraid I might run into problems with paths that contain more that one "." Like "...geo.0001.obj"
string path = "/some/path/file.name.ext"; string path_noext = join(split(path, ".")[:-1], ".");
that being said you may still run into issues for extensions that have . in there
like .bgeo.sc, even though you can use .bgeosc yourself but just in general
anyway there will always be edge cases you may want to account for or not

Tamte answers this another way in an older thread: www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/57128/
string path = "../my/path/to/geo.0001.obj"; s@path = re_replace(".obj", "", path);
