How do you people do in AS simple things like: strip extension (if
file has one), strip directories from path name (if there anything to
strip), extract extension (if name has one), extract path name (if name
has one), etc.

Greetings,
I like to use the Satimage osax for regular expressions in Mac OS X.
http://www.satimage.fr/software/en/downloads_osaxen.html
(An osax is an AppleScript extension.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
set fName to "someFileName.ext"
set fName to change "\\.[a-z]{3}$" into "" in fName with regexp without
case sensitive
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You can also shell out to perl or other languages in Mac OS X.
For a more traditional AppleScript approach you can do something like this:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
set fName to "someFileName.ext"
if character -4 of fName = "." then
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
set fName to (text items 1 thru -2 of fName) as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {""}
fName
end if
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chris
