Thanks for your feedback! I will do as you proposed and no longer rely on
shell expansions. Thanks!

I agree that 'basename' doesn't quite cut it, and your request is fair.
On the other hand, I think you have grown too accustomed to the quirk of one
specific shell, although other shells have something similar.
I would recommend you achieve what you want with sed, because it is really
ubiquit
Well thanks, I knew this solution, but it only works if you know the
extension of the file. What I'm looking for is something that remove any
extension suffix, whatever it is. So, your last line should give "myfile"
alone.

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 $n
