Nop, no such functions. But these values are so trivial to extract that no special functions are needed. Instead of locating the LastSlash (which presumably was done walking down chars from the end or using offset in a loop), it is simpler to
set the itemDelimiter to slash put last item of LongDateiName into Dateiname put item 1 to -2 of LongDateiName into NewDirectory
and if LongDateiName is fetched using sth line
put the long name of this stack into LongDateiName
and then cleaning the it from extra word and quotes, the same can be done with a single line
You are completely right, of course! I have used the changing of the itemdelimiter on other occasions.
My (rather old) script was one of the first tries to deal with the return value of the "ask file" command - and as the solution worked fine this button somehow was transferred to other stacks and never updated.
Ken mentioned in the meantime that there is no entry "export snapshot" in the documentation; there is none in Metacard, but in the Transcript Dictionary of Rev.
