Files on HD or CD into list

[interart_03 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I need to dig file names from hd without ext in list. I have problem to identify delimiter "\" and dots.
Any other way?

ok assuming you have a list with the full pathname of a list of files (from
something like buddyAPI for instace) try this:

set newPathList = []
repeat with x in pathList
set the itemdelimiter = "\"
set temp = the last item of x
set the itemdelimiter = "."
set temp = item 1 of temp
add newPathList, temp
end repeat

I haven't tested this so if you have any problems with it let me know and
I'll check it tomorrow, but it should work.
