How do I remove the file extension from the file name parameter.

I am creating a new drawing format and in the table where I show the file name I am using the parameter &PTC_WM_NUMBER. So if the file name is 123456abc.prt it shows up in the tile block as 123456abc.prt.  

 

I want to find a way to remove the extension .prt or .asm and just show the file name "123456abc".

Number is a Windchill parameter.  If you want the file name then use &dwg_name for the drawing's name and &model_name for the model's name.  Neither of these will include the file extension.
