How do you break down a username?

[Stephon98caffe]

I need to write a script for my boss that will take a username ie vacosmiths1. And remove the vaco from the username and leave me with smiths1.

 

[markdmac]

usrstring = "vacosmiths1"

userName = Right(usrstring, Len(usrstring)-4)

WScript.Echo userName

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

Not sure what you mean by 'take the username'...

Set oNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.NetWork") 
cUser = LCase(oNetwork.UserName)

If left(cUser,4)="vaco" Then 
  nLen = 4
Else
  nLen = 0
End If 

WScript.Echo Right(cUser, Len(cUser)-nLen)
