I'm sure there're a billion ways to do what you want, but here's a
routine I use to get a substring.
(* FUNCTION DEFINITION*)
on GetSubString of str from fromIndex thru toIndex
if fromIndex is less than 1 then
set fromIndex to 1
end if
if toIndex is greater than (count of str) then
set toIndex to count of str
end if
set tmp to ""
repeat with c in characters fromIndex thru toIndex of str
set tmp to tmp & c
end repeat
return tmp
end GetSubString
set str to "0050_2010_winners_accessories"
GetSubString of str from 6 thru length of str

Wizards,
I am trying to do a script that will strip the leading 5 characters
from file names.
For example I want "0050_2010_winners_accessories" to become
"2010_winners_accessories".
In my current script I'm trying use these lines, where the "?" would
be a wild card. Apparently the "?" is not valid for this.
property searchStrings : {"00\?\?_"}
property replacementStrings : {""}
TIA,
