I have a variable that holds the value 'website.html'.

How can I split that variable so it only gives me the 'website'?

Thanks

var a = website.html;

var name = a.split(.)[0];

If the file name has a dot in the name, you could try...

var a = website.old.html;

var nameSplit = a.split(.);

nameSplit.pop();    

var name = nameSplit.join(.);

But if the file name is something like my.old.file.tar.gz, then it will think my.old.file.tar is the file name
