I want to split a string so that I always return everything BEFORE the LAST

HELLO_xxxxxxxx.lst # should return HELLO

I have tried with rsplit but cannot get it to work.
Any help appreciated
The rsplit() method was a good idea; it will work. So exactly what did
you try and what about it did not work. How are you stuck going from
your partial answer to a complete one?
While you're at it, you need to consider at least two more cases
HELLO.txt #should return ""
HELLO_and_____goodbye #should return "HELLO_and____"
