Various people have shown different ways of munging the full name string (though no one has suggested using basename(1) yet...),

My entry for umpteen ways to skin this cat:

Hi Philip

Is your script dedicated to 10.5 ?

Here, under 10.4.11, with:

set pat to "Macintosh HD:Users:yvan_koenig:Desktop:save2Pages&PDF&zip.applescript.zip" as alias
set ppath to quoted form of POSIX path of pat


do shell script "tclsh <<< 'puts [file rootname [file tail " & ppath & "]]'"

 the log report is:

(*/Users/yvan_koenig/Desktop/save2Pages&PDF&zip.applescript.zip*)
tell current application
do shell script "tclsh <<< 'puts [file rootname [file tail '/Users/ yvan_koenig/Desktop/save2Pages&PDF&zip.applescript.zip']]'"
"sh: line 1: zip.applescript.zip]]: command not found
sh: line 1: PDF: command not found"
