Oh, I see what he was talking about. I usually do this with
FSC_Base_Filename like this:

outputFiles = StrArr(nosFiles)
FOR j=0,nosFiles-1 DO BEGIN
rootname = FSC_Base_Filename(list[i])
outputFiles[j] = Filepath(ROOT_DIR=outputDir, rootname + '.txt')
ENDFOR

You can find FSC_Base_Filename here.

http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_base_filename.pro

You could also use the IDL routine FILE_BASENAME in this case.

rootname = File_Basename(list[i], '.nc')

I just find the features of FSC_Base_Filename more amenable to
what I am trying to do, usually.

Cheers,

David
