The code;

tell application "Evernote"

set theNote to selection

set theNoteTitle to (title of item 1 of theNote) as string

display dialog theNoteTitle --1

set theX to offset of "[" in theNoteTitle

if theX is not 0 then

set theText to text ((offset of "[" in theNoteTitle) + 1) thru -1 of theNoteTitle

display dialog theText --2

set theText to rstripString(theText, "]") of me

display dialog theText --3

else

set theText to "1d"

end if

……. and on to do things to the Note!!

on rstripString(theText, trimString)
local theText, trimString, x
try
set x to count trimString
try
repeat while theText ends with trimString
set theText to characters 1 thru -(x + 1) of theText as text
end repeat
return theText
on error number -1700
return ""
end try
on error eMsg number eNum
error "Can't trimBoth: " & eMsg number eNum
end try
end rstripString

theNoteTitle is displayed in the dialog (all dialog just for debugging) at --1 as Test [6d]

at --2 it correctly becomes 6d]

the problem comes at --3 when if the script is run from keyboard shortcut (Fastscripts) theText is shown as 6=d but, if the script is run from the AppleScript Editor theText is correctly shown as 6d

Sorry for length of explanation but I fail to see why there is a difference based on how the script is run?

This edited one does the trick :

set theNoteTitle to "azerty [the title] zzzz"

display dialog theNoteTitle --1

set theX to offset of "[" in theNoteTitle

if theX is not 0 then

set theText to text (offset of "[" in theNoteTitle) thru -1 of theNoteTitle # EDITED

display dialog theText --2

set theText to rstripString(theText, "]") of me

display dialog theText --3

else

set theText to "1d"

end if

-- and on to do things to the Note!!

on rstripString(theText, trimString)

local theText, trimString, x

try

# EDITED

try

repeat until theText ends with trimString # EDITED

set theText to text 1 thru -2 of theText # EDITED

end repeat

return theText

on error number -1700

return ""

end try

on error eMsg number eNum

error "Can't trimBoth: " & eMsg number eNum

end try

end rstripString
