lawe009 lawe009 Fresh Scripter Registered: 2004-04-14 Posts: 36	Hi, I´m new to this board and got a newbie question. How do I get the last part of a variable? I´m running Metaframe with local and network printers and I want to know the default printer. I got a script, from here, which checks this but it can look like "Client\computername#\\\server\HP LaserJet 4100 PCL 6" to "HP Laserjet 4100 PCL 6". I´m just interested in the last part the name, the printername. How do I do this? The script I´m using is: Code: $PrinterKey = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" $PrinterVal = "Device" $TempString = READVALUE ($PrinterKey, $PrinterVal) ;The Printername is the first part of the registry value $x = INSTR($TempString,",") $DefPrint = SUBSTR($TempString,1,$x-1) $DefPrint Regards Lars

In this case the last element (ubound()). Simplified: $var = split( string , delimiter ) [ element ] _________________________
