What am I doing wrong here? (AppleScript remove multiple parts of string)

Question

I'm trying to clean up the string so that it removes "//name@" and "deletethispart.file" from "//name@main.domain.com/directory01/directory02/deletethispart.file"

set mainString to "//name@main.domain.com/directory01/directory02/deletethispart.file"
set cleanUpTerms to {"//name@", "deletethispart.file"}
repeat with i from 1 to count of cleanUpTerms
    set text item delimiters to item i of cleanUpTerms
    set cleanURL to text items of mainString
    set text item delimiters to ""
    set mainString to cleanURL
end repeat

It's not working:(

Answer 1

You have to concatenate the text items at the end of the repeat loop.

Renaming cleanURL with textItems makes it clearer

set mainString to "//name@main.domain.com/directory01/directory02/deletethispart.file"
set cleanUpTerms to {"//name@", "deletethispart.file"}
repeat with i from 1 to count of cleanUpTerms
    set text item delimiters to item i of cleanUpTerms
    set textItems to text items of mainString
    set text item delimiters to ""
    set mainString to textItems as text
end repeat

As red_menace said, text item delimiters can be a list. it means you do not need a loop for each delimiter:

set mainString to "//name@main.domain.com/directory01/directory02/deletethispart.file"
set cleanUpTerms to {"//name@", "deletethispart.file"}
set text item delimiters to cleanUpTerms

set cleanURL to text items of mainString
set text item delimiters to ""
set mainString to cleanURL as text
