I am going to be using ScriptLogic soon - a GUI based on the Kix32 language. We are currently using Firstname.Lastname as our username convention on our Win2000 domain. We are instituting a workstation naming convention that will include a department code + first initial + last name. Due to the convention, the last name will need to be truncated to 7 chars max.

Do you know how I could extract this information and store it as a variable? The department code is easy - it's standard. But how do I capture the first initial and the first 7 characters of the last name from the Firstname.Lastname username? Or can this be captured from another macro within Kixstart?
