Manipulate the last item in a string

Subject: Manipulate the last item in a string

Using applescript with Filemaker I can make a string of found image record names such as this:

"1234.jpg, 5678.jpg, 4444.jpg, 5555.jpg, 9876.jpg, 6969.jpg."

What I want to do is delete the last comma and insert an "&" into the string to make:

"1234.jpg, 5678.jpg, 4444.jpg, 5555.jpg, 9876.jpg & 6969.jpg."

I assume that I use text item deliminators but not sure how as there are multiple ", " in the string and record names will vary with each use of the script. Any suggestions?

Clive
