Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder. Personally I prefer basename
(and it's cousin dirname) because I know them and don't have to remember
the Shell syntax for substitutions.
How would you adapt your method to do the same as "basename $foo .txt"?
I don't doubt it can be done, but I can't be bothered working it out.
That's what simplicity means in my book.
