Re: changing part of a string


Huh.  For some reason i had it in my head that AS strings were immutable.



I think Mark is right. This does not work on my mac:

set fullPath to "G5:bigfolder:2 color:myfolder:image1.eps"
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
set text item 3 of fullPath to "CMYK images"

This does:

set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}
set fullPath to every text item of "G5:bigfolder:2 color:myfolder:image1.eps"
set item 3 of fullPath to "CMYK Images"
set fullPath to fullPath as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
