Try something like:
set the itemdelimiter to "/"
put last item of tFullPath into tFilename
put tFullPath into tPath
replace tFilename with "" in tPath -- path without the name
set the itemdelimiter to "."
put item 1 of tFilename into tName -- file name without extension
put last item of tFilename into tExt -- file extension
Note that this will fail badly if people are putting multiple periods
into the file name, but it should be a start.

I KNOW I've seen this somewhere but I can't seem to find it so I'm
hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I want to take a file pathname as returned from an "ask file"
command for example, and break it into it's component parts. I
thought there was a command that was passed a pathname and then it
returned a list of items (1 is drive/volume, 2 is path, 3 is
filename, 4 is extension, etc).
I don't need someone to do this for me, just point me to where I
need to go look it up.
Thanks a lot!
