I need to process a folder hiearchy and find any file with slash in the name
and replace it by an underscore. So far I know how to process the folder and
get the file name but, I don't know how to replace the slash by something
else.

Here's one way of doing it, Stephan:

-------------

to switchText of t from s to r
	set d to text item delimiters
	set text item delimiters to s
	set t to t's text items
	set text item delimiters to r
	set t to t as Unicode text
	set text item delimiters to d
	t
end switchText

set fileName to "name/of/some/file.txt"
set fileName to my (switchText of fileName from "/" to "_")

--> "name_of_some_file.txt"

-------------

perhaps i am dense but Kai;

in the switchtext rutine  ?

I simply dont get it !  ;-)
