If I understand well you may use :
set fullPath to "/path/to/folder/path/from/folder/file"
set rootPath to "/path/to/folder"
set relativePath to my supprime(fullPath, rootPath) --> "/path/from/folder/file"
#=====
(*
removes every occurences of d in text t
*)
on supprime(t, d)
local oTIDs, l
set {oTIDs, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text
item delimiters, d}
set l to text items of t
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
set t to l as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oTIDs
return t
end supprime
