It works for me.  If you place that text in Try/Me.hs and call
     ghc -E Try/Me.hs
you get
     Try/Me.hs:2

If you just want to turn slashes into dots, and remove the suffix,  
that is a simple exercise in Haskell itself

main = putStrLn (mangle __FILE__)
   where mangle ('/':cs) = '.': mangle cs
         mangle .....
