The problem is that your variable still contains the quotes around
the file name. I.e. instead of for a stack
Pete
your script is looking for a stack
"Pete"
which doesn't exist.
The way I always do it in HC is:
set itemdelimiter to quote
put item 2 of stackname into stackname
however, I'm not sure that this works for MC's substacks, you'll have
to try that. I suppose the safest method would be to use:
set itemdelimiter to quote
put item (number of items of stackname -1) of stackname into stackname
