set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {" "}
set textItems to text items of cityName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
set newCityname to textItems as string
--> "StLouis"
Normally you have to reset the delimiters to {""}, the default (or to
whatever they were before, ify ou prefer) at the end of a script, since they
are application-wide and will maintain themselves in all scrip-t in that
application (e.g. script Editor or whatever is running the script) until
itis quit and relaunched. But here they've already been set to {""} so it's
not necessary. Never leave them as {" "} or anything other than {""} at the
end of a script.
