Hi Chris,

"the itemdelimiter" (or short "itemdel") is your friend

Use it like this:
...
put "website/folder1/folder1/myimage.jpg" into tFullPath

## Filename:
set itemdel to "/"
put item -1 of tFullPath into tFileName
## -> myimage.jpg

## Suffix:
set itemdel to "."
put item -1 of tFileName into tSuffix
## -> jpg
...
Check the dictionary for more info about "itemdelimiter"!


Best

Klaus
