If all you want to do is get the name of a file or folder, then I would
suggest that you parse it out of the path:
-- begin script
on FilenameFromPath(thePath)
set oldDelimiters to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set pathAsList to text items of (thePath as text)
if the last character of (thePath as text) is ":" then
set idx to -2 -- (the number of text items in thePath) - 1
else
set idx to -1
end if
set |filename| to item idx of pathAsList
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiters
return |filename|
end FilenameFromPath
-- end script
This is the fastest and least-problematic way to go.
