Autofill metadata title with file name, but without extension

[Addie_TM]

I found a script that will let me autofill the InDesign document metadata with the file name, but it puts in the .indd extension at the end. Is there a way to get the script to leave out the file extension in the metadata title? Here is the script I'm using:

tell application "Adobe InDesign CC 2017"

  tell active document

  set document title of metadata preferences to name

  --set x to document title of metadata preferences

  save

  end tell

end tell

And here is what my metadata looks like after I run it. I just don't want the .indd in there. Suggestions?

I don't have a Mac at hand at the moment so I'd rather translate this into JavaScript:

main();
function main() {
    try {
        var doc = app.activeDocument;
        doc.metadataPreferences.documentTitle = doc.name.replace(/\.indd$/i, "");
    }
    catch(err) {}
}

Anyway, if you want to edit the AS version, you can find a solution via google. For example, here. (note: you should change 3 to 4. -- four characters in the indd extension).

Hope it helps.
