get name of x
So
set thePath to (choose file) as text -- choose the file in question
tell application "Finder" to set x to alias thePath
log x
log (x as alias)
get name of x
================
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
choose file
--> alias "After Ewe Firewire:Users:Walter:Music:\\\"ur\\\"file"
end tell
tell application "Finder"
get alias "After Ewe Firewire:Users:Walter:Music:\\\"ur\\\"file"
--> document file "\\\"ur\\\"file" of folder "Music" of folder "Walter" of folder "Users" of startup disk
(*document file \"ur\"file of folder Music of folder Walter of folder Users of startup disk*)
get document file "\\\"ur\\\"file" of folder "Music" of folder "Walter" of folder "Users" of startup disk
--> alias "After Ewe Firewire:Users:Walter:Music:\\\"ur\\\"file"
end tell
(*alias After Ewe Firewire:Users:Walter:Music:\"ur\"file*)
tell application "Finder"
get name of document file "\\\"ur\\\"file" of folder "Music" of folder "Walter" of folder "Users" of startup disk
--> "\\\"ur\\\"file"
end tell
Result:
"\\\"ur\\\"file"
=====================
There is some bob and weave going on here.
