How do I remove part of a path?

[Michael Kann]

Pete,

One little improvement is needed:

replace item 4 of <wherever your url is> with empty in <wherever your url is>

When I change the itemDelimiter to something exotic I almost always forget to change it back then wonder why those items don't obey. If you are going to change the itemDelimiter you might try something like:

put the itemDel into old_delimiter
set the itemDel to "/"
-- gather some items
set the itemDel to old_delimiter

replace "/public.html" with empty in <wherever the url is>.  That's assuming
it's always the same string you want to get rid of.  Alternatively:

set the itemdelimiter to "/"
replace item 4 of <wherever your url is> with empty
