joshuaer joshuaer Fresh Scripter Registered: 2006-02-09 Posts: 15	Hello I am trying to edit a .ini file, currently it opens the FSP.ini file and looks for to entries labled LastUser and PCAlias and replaces the values with %USERNAME% This works great except I need it to limit the characters being put in by %USERNAME% to only 8 characters. So if a persons username is 9 or 10 characters it will only show 8 of them. Is there a way to do this? Break on $inifile = "C:\Fsp.ini" $value = ReadProfileString($inifile, "UBS", "LastUser=") $rc = WriteProfileString($inifile, "UBS", "LastUser", ""%USERNAME%") $value = ReadProfileString($inifile, "UBS", "PCAlias=") $rc = WriteProfileString($inifile, "UBS", "PCAlias", "%USERNAME%") EndIf _________________________ www.omfgservers.com
