I need to process a folder hiearchy and find any file with slash

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"
Another way to do it is to throw away your script and do this in
Automator instead. Takes two or three actions, depending on how you
get the input; the business end would be Get Folder Contents (repeat
for each subfolder found) > Rename Finder Items (replace "/" with "_").
