How to split name.jpg and get the string name

[Pedroski55]

Thanks, that did it! I used:

# put the pics in the excel file in column 1
for filename in os.listdir(pathToPhotos):
	if not (filename.endswith('.jpg')):
		continue
	for rowNum in range(beginRow, ws.max_row + 1):
		getName = filename.split('.')
		if (getName[0] == ws.cell(row=rowNum, column=col).value):
			print('found the name! Name is: %s ' % (getName[0]))
			print('Putting pic in row ' + str(rowNum))
			img = Image(pathToPhotos + filename)
			ws.add_image(img, 'A' + str(rowNum))

Which worked fine. However, other sheets in this excel file already had photos which I had manually inserted. Luckily, I saved the file as filename_copy.xlsx , because, when I looked, all the other photos for old classes were gone!! I do not know why!
I managed to copy the new class sheet with photos into the old excel file which saved the day.
