Hi all,

This is my first post here.

I use printers that only have space for 8 character for the hold print function.

I need to have a script to get the current username and only use the first 8.

I've only really used KIX to add a couple of print Q's and connect a couple of network drives so my knowledge is quite limited.

From what I've found I need to read the username into an array and use the split command but I'm not sure how to count the 8 characters. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mark
