It seems like it.  Does the windows command shell have any features
like the following?

FULLNAME="/tmp/secret.gpg"
DIR=$(dirname $FULLNAME)
FILE=$(basename $FULLNAME)
FILE_NOEXT=${FILE%.*}

echo $FULLNAME, in dir: $DIR, file name: $FILE, no extension: $FILE_NOEXT

outputs:
/tmp/secret.gpg, in dir: /tmp, file name: secret.gpg, no extension: secret
