How Do I? Count & Trim the Number of Characters in a Variable or List Item

[crazyflx 22]

Alright, I'm looking to create accounts at a certain site, but the site has a very strange rule that your username can't be longer than 8 characters ???

 

This is creating problems because almost every single one of the randomly generated usernames that comes out of uBot is longer than that.

 

How do I trim a randomly generated username to 8 characters or less?

 

I say count and trim either a variable or list item because it can be done either way. If I can just have it count/trim the $username variable right from the source, that'd be great.

 

However, if I have to add the $username variable to a list, then count/trim it, and then put THAT into the appropriate field, that's fine too.

 

I just don't know how to do either one of those.

Dont think you can without using Jim's library which I believe was deleted in the new forum change. Would have to browse the old forum for it.

Yes please, all libraries are deleted. Someone please reupload it I really need these.

Someone care to fill me in on what the "libraries" are?

Got to ask Jim to do it I guess.
