I wanted to keep all but the last one, of course, so this
is probably something more like this one :
return '.'.join(context.getId().split('.')[:-1])

thanks a lot to the both of you.
I didn't realize I could place such a script to make it inherited by 
sub-branches even if I HAD read about acquisition !!

Thanks!

Now may I ask for a bit more help? i'm so near the solution!

Well I used the 4 lines script because I was a bit intimidated by the 1 
line one.
Still, reading it a little better, I understood it uses a string as a 
stack with the dot as a distinction point ('my.String.htm'.split(.) 
should give back a stack made like this:

htm
String
my

right?
)

I was disappointed when I saw I haven't got the string API reference in 
Zope but I have to connect to the Internet to read it. Too bad I don't 
always have a net connection at my disposal.

Back to us, I had to do a small modification to the 4 lines script; it 
was

    import string
    name = context.getId()
    splitname = id.split('.')  // where's 'id' defined?
    splitname.pop()  # get rid of the extension
    name = string.join(splitname, '.')  # reassemble the string
    return name

but it had to be

    import string
    name = context.getId()
    splitname = NAME.split('.')     //(the right reference is 'name' not 
id ;) ))
    splitname.pop()  # get rid of the extension
    name = string.join(splitname, '.')  # reassemble the string
    return name

Ok, now, I'm a good pupil !!  ;-)

The one thing I can't still do is search files in my catalog whose 
names CONTAINS a substring.

I can search files names taht start with or end with a substring 
(catalogue.searchResults({'code': '*' + aString}  and 
catalogue.searchResults({'code': aString + '*')

No more. How do I search general substrings (the common 'contains' 
relation?)

Thanks so much, anyway
