Scripting is for lazy people.

Two questions:
1: How do I reduce these 2 lines to 1?

set doFile to name of file bar of foo
set insertName to text 4 thru 5 of doFile


2: Why do I spend 6 hours doing something with a script when I could have
done it the hard way in 45 minutes?
Hint: Don't say it's because I'm lazy!
