Try this, Michael:
-----------------------------------
set myVariable to parse(path to me)
-- do something with myVariable
on parse(myPath)
set tid to text item delimiters
set text item delimiters to ":"
set txt to (myPath as string)'s last text item
set text item delimiters to "-"
set txt to txt's last text item
set text item delimiters to "."
set txt to txt's first text item
set text item delimiters to tid
txt
end parse
-----------------------------------
(To work properly, the script must first be saved as an application.)
