Set file names to text

Question

I'm looking for an action that will take files as input and output the file names as text. Does anyone know of an included or free action to do this?

You can use AppleScript's text item delimiters to add some text between the (text) items when converting the input list to text:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters} -- convert the input list to text using the specified delimiter
try
set tempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters -- save the current delimiter
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return -- change the delimiting text as desired
set the output to the input as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
on error errorMessage number errorNumber -- restore the original delimiter before passing on the error
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
error errMessage number errorNumber
end try
return the output
end run
</pre>
