Automator - Renaming it without any .html extension Can we able to rename the files without file extensions?

I did tried the following setup, But I get the filename ended with "." may be because the same folder name as file exists. 

Here is my current workflow. You can see in the image that in the final step, filename "dc." That's a html file.
If a folder/directory of the same base name of the file name does not exist at the same level as the file then it can be done, otherwise you cannot remove .html from the file name at the same level. 

To remove the extension and the . you need to use:


Find: .html in fullname


If the fully qualified pathname contains .html in other then the actual file name, then you'll have to use a Run Shell Script action instead of the Rename Finder Items action.


Run Shell Script action:


Shell: /bin/bash
Pass input: as arguments

for f in "$@"
do
    [ ! -d "${f%.*}" ] || continue
    mv -n "$f" "${f%.*}"
done




NOTE: As coded, if folder/directory of the same base name of the file name does exist at the same level as the file then nothing will happen and the file name will be unchanged.



If you need to clean up things, that is to remove trailing . in the file names from the previous renaming, do the following in Terminal:

cd /path/to/article
find . -type f -iregex '.*\.$' | for f in *; do [ ! -d "${f%.*}" ] || continue; mv -vn "$f" "${f%.*}"; done


Same note from above applies here as well.
