you already got a few interesting entries to try, but I haven't seen this one. 
I'd use this, because I suck at regexp and because one never know if someone 
added a suffix of jpeg or jpg or j or...

function removeSuffix theName
  set the itemdelimiter to .
  return item 1 to -2 of theName
end removeSuffix

where # can be a number anywhere between 1 and 6 figures long.

what I need is to extract the number from the image name.

SO, starting with

on mouseEnter
  put the short name of me into NOMEN

   delete the last char of NOMEN
   delete the last char of NOMEN
   delete the last char of NOMEN
   delete the last char of NOMEN
   delete the first char of NOMEN

why that never occurred to me before I just don't know.

In case you were yearning for a cuter solution:

answer char 2 to the number of chars in NOMEN - 4 of NOMEN

Hi Richmond,

Here's another way:

on mouseEnter
put myNumber(the short name of me)
end mouseEnter

function myNumber pNOMEN
set the itemDelimiter to .
return char 2 to -1 of item 1 of pNOMEN
end myNumber

Try using a regular expression:

function extractImageNumber pName
   local tNumber

   if matchText(pName,f(\d+)\.*, tNumber) is false then
  return empty
   end if

   return tNumber
end extractImageNumber
