danilda danilda Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-03-01 Posts: 21 Loc: Washington, DC	I have returned group members using fnldapquery, but only want the user's name. Does anyone know of a way to strip the extraneous data out? thanks -- dee

I think the UDF returns the COM handle, so it should just be a matter of refining the code. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

danilda danilda Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-03-01 Posts: 21 Loc: Washington, DC	The return code would be CN=James Doe,OU=Users,DC=something,DC=com. I only want the CN name, nothing else.

Allen Allen KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-04-19 Posts: 4572 Loc: USA	There are a number of ways to do this, here is one. Code: $="CN=James Doe,OU=Users,DC=something,DC=com" $CN=right(split($,",")[0],-3) ? $CN _________________________ (... better days ahead)

Witto Witto MM club member Registered: 2004-09-29 Posts: 1828 Loc: Belgium	Indeed, a number of ways Code: Break On ;Declare variables Dim $Name, $CN ;Initialize variables $Name = "CN=James Doe,OU=Users,DC=something,DC=com" ;Code $CN = Split(Split($Name,",")[AScan(Split($Name,","),"CN=",,,1)],"=")[1] $CN ?

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Witto, Never split on a comma, it could be in the name. IMHO, using Split() is a hack. There should be a way to pull just what you want from COM as a specific ADSI property. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	For example: Code: $MyUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=JamesSmith,OU=MyOrgUnit") $MyCommonName = $MyUser.Get("CN") _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	or maybe you want: $MyUser.Get("sAMAccountName") _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more. Slap him with a fish and he will go away forever.

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Good catch! Had to think about that for a minute.. In case you don't see the reason for the change that DrillSargeant made, consider: A string with three consecutive spaces would have the first two reduced to one, which would then be joined, resulting in two consecutive spaces - the pair replaced by the single, and the remaining odd (third) space. This would occur if you had any odd number of consecutive spaces above one. The loop keeps checking and reducing double spaces to single spaces.
