I somehow need to do a "search and replace" of the slashes with pipes, yet

NOTE: this QND does not support "theString" to start or end with an "/"
set theString to "
http://www.site.se/folder/folder2/index.html";
set items_theString to items in theString
repeat with i from 1 to (count items_theString)
if item i in items_theString is "/" then
if item (i + 1) in items_theString is "/" then
set doSomething to false
else
if item (i - 1) in items_theString is "/" then
set doSomething to false
else
set item i in items_theString to "|"
end if
end if
end if
end repeat
items_theString as string
