File Name in Field?

[H Baric]

Aha! Okay, so I was kind of on the right track, in my straightforward 
non-functiony beginners script - that didn't work :(

I tried to return item 2, 3... (oops) of  all kinds of things, including 
"it" and it in variable, without realising you have to set the delimiter 
thing first.

And -1 of course! Duh.

Okay, great got it.
Thanks once again Eric.
Just send me a bill for your wonderful services :D

Cheers,
Heather

local tFilePath, tFileName
answer file "Choose a file:"
if it <> empty then
   put it into tFilePath
   put FilePathToShortFileName(tFilePath) into tFileName
   etc.
----------------------------
function FilePathToShortFileName pPath
   set the itemDelimiter to slash
   return item -1 of pPath
end FilePathToShortFileName
