In Applescript, I use the below to get a folder on my desktop whose name ends with “PROOF”
(the folders full name name is: A123456-PROOF ), it then removes the characters “-PROOF”
leaving me with A123456, How would this be done usingextendscript?, can I get some help and pointers with this please?
cheers

set _folders to (folders of desktop whose name ends with "PROOF")
    repeat with _folder in _folders
        set _Name to name of _folder
        set name of _folder to (characters 1 thru -7 of _Name as text)
        activate application "BLACK MASK"
    end repeat

Iv’e looked at “split”, but i’m not sure how to use it properly
