Yours didn't work for me, but this modification does:
HTH,
ES
on to_String(the_record)
try
{a:0} as string
on error cutoff
set oldDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"{a:0}"}
set startCut to length of first text item of cutoff
set endCut to length of last text item of cutoff
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelims
end try
try
the_record as string
on error the_record
set endCut to (the (length of the_record) - endCut)
set the_record to text startCut thru endCut of the_record
end try
return the_record -- as string
end to_String
