One simple method would be to use basename:
nameis=(basename $dataset .foo)
this will perform the following,
if $dataset = myfile then $nameis = myfile
if $dataset = myfile.foo then $nameis = myfile
if $dataset = /path/to/myfile.foo then $nameis = myfile
if $dataset = /path/to/myfile.bar then $nameis = myfile.bar
so provided you don't need absolute paths, this is simple.
