Sample input:

"file:" & Get( DocumentsPath ) & "index.html"

Sample output:

/Users/gjermund/Documents/index.html

or the equivalent of: C:\Users\gjermund\Documents\index.html for Windows.

Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

Case(
  Abs( Get( SystemPlatform ) ) = 2;
  Right( Substitute( i; "/"; "\\" ); Length( i ) - Position( i; "/"; 1; 2 ) + 1 )
  Right( i; Length( i ) - Position( i; "/"; 1; 2 ) + 1 )
)

The windows part is not tested; might need a minor tweak, I just wrote what I expected to be correct off the top of my head.
