If i'm editing a file, such as

/src/test/service.spec.js

And I want to echo service using expand, is there a better way than:

:echo expand("%:t:r:r")

I want to be able to handle cases where multiple file extensions might be present, and doing :r:r seems a bit narrow.

Maybe you could try using split() to split the filename (expand('%:t')) whenever there's a literal dot \.. It would return a list whose first item ([0]) should be what you are looking for:

:echo split(expand('%:t'), '\.')[0]
