Huh. For some reason i had it in my head that AS strings were immutable.

I think Mark is right. This does not work on my mac:

set fullPath to "G5:bigfolder:2 color:myfolder:image1.eps"

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}

set text item 3 of fullPath to "CMYK images"

This does:

set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {":"}

set fullPath to every text item of "G5:bigfolder:2 color:myfolder:image1.eps"

set item 3 of fullPath to "CMYK Images"

set fullPath to fullPath as string

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims

ES
