Adding file name to Title metadata

[james_dean1986]

I have over 1000 files where I need to put the file name (minus extension) into the title metadata in order to automatically fill the Alt text for a website. 

I found a script on here from a while ago but it doesnt appear to do anything when I select it. I think it was wrote for CS5.

Can anyone help? 

Thanks
