Re: changing part of a string

OAnd ... when creating the new full path, you have to qualify each item before adding it to the path name, otherwise, it's just a string that can't be used as an alias. In the example above, the new path is "G5:bigfolder:CMYK images:myfolder:image1.eps", but the folders "CMYK images" and "myfolder" will have to be created if they do not exist. You'll need to move or copy the file "image1.eps". 
Way too complicated...

If you have the full path as a string, and you don't mind using "do shell script", you could
do shell script "mkdir -p " & quoted form of posix path of fullPath
to create the full path hierachy.

If the fullPath contains the filename too, this should do the job:
do shell script "dir=$(dirname " & (quoted form of POSIX path of fullPath) & ") ; mkdir -p \"$dir\""
