I have a question I am reading in the names of files in a folder eg John.jpg Bob.jpg James.jpg I then want to print them out again
but I want to strip off the file extension so I am then just left with just the file names eg John Bob James
Can any one show me how to do this ?

I haven't tried this, but you should be able to use the split function for this.

<%
Dim a
a = split(sFilename, ".")
response.write a(0)
%>

I think it is me just being stupid as usual I and doing some thing that I have not read up on on so I am make quite a few mastakes

<%@Language=JScript%>
<%
//the gallery folder
var GalleryFolder = "/test/st/galleries";

//determine gallery and picture
var thispic, thisgal;
thispic = Request("pic").Item;
thisgal = Request("gallery").Item;
if (!thispic) thispic = 0
else thispic = parseInt(thispic);

//enumerate files in folder
var photos = new Array(0);
var i = 0;

var fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fld = fso.GetFolder(Server.MapPath('/test/st/galleries/' + thisgal));
var fc = new Enumerator(fld.files);
for (; !fc.atEnd(); fc.moveNext()) {
if ("jpgif".indexOf(fso.GetExtensionName(fc.item())) > -1) {
picfile = fso.GetFileName(fc.item());
if (String(picfile).substring(0,1) != '_') photos[i++] = picfile;
}
}
fc = null;
fld = null;
fso = null;

var picsrc;
if (i) picsrc = GalleryFolder + '/' + thisgal + '/' + photos[thispic];
else picsrc = '';

%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Gallery</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF" onLoad="go()">
<p align="center"><img src="<%=picsrc%>" border="0"></p>
<p align="center"><%

if (thispic)
Response.Write('<a href="view.asp?gallery=' + thisgal + '&pic=' + (thispic-1) + '">Prev</a> ');
Response.Write (' ' + photos[thispic] + ' ');
if (thispic+1 < photos.length)
Response.Write(' <a href="view.asp?gallery=' + thisgal + '&pic=' + (thispic+1) + '">Next</a>');

Dim a
a = split(spicsrc, ".")
response.write a(0)

%></p>

then call it
view.asp?gallery=women

where women is a folder in your GalleryFolder folder

The reason it's not working, is that the code Doug G gave you is written in VBScript, and your page is written in JScript.
