How to delete text items?

Hi,

I have a problem and I think you can help me.

Imagine you have a file comment which contains the characters ":" & "/". Now you want to name a file or folder after this file comment. But you can't at first sight because characters like ":" & "/" are not allowed in file- or folder names. So what do you do using AppleScript to get rid of those characters in the file comment? I know I can count characters in text but how do you delete specific characters?

I appreciate any hints,

Martin
