changing file names on the fly

yes, use the "rename" command:
Put the filename into a variable -> tFilenameOld
put tFileNameOld into tFileNameNew
Modify/fix it as needed:
set itemdel to "/"
replace " " with "" in item -1 of tFileNameNew
rename" file tFileNameOld to tFileNameNew 

You get the picture :-)
