Batch: Find and delete a substring

Comment:

I need to find a substring in the passed in argument (%1) and delete it. For example, when I do this (batch file is dotest.bat): C:>dotest test_file.txt In dotest.bat, I need to delete .txt if it exists. So if they pass in only test_file for 1st arg, I don't want to do anything. But if they pass in test_file.txt for 1st arg, I need to extract only test_file (delete .txt from 1st arg). I would really appreciate if anyone you help me... Thanks in advance!
