PGV - Part Value

Hi Guys,

Trying to work my head around this is.

I am trying to set an attribute value based on part of another attributes value. To give you an example.

Lets say the SamAccountName value is ABC-Something , I then have a Virtual attribute where i would like to use everything before the -Something. Now the issue is it will not always be three characters long it could be ABCDEFG-Something which is why i am trying to work out how to only take everything before the -Something.

I have looked at the User properties Mask options and some are close but not quite. Is there a cleaver way to do this?

Thanks in advance

I would initially approach this by using a script with say onPostCreate and onPostModify Event Handlers (to catch creation and modification of the SamAccountName) and parse the SamAccountName, grab everything before the '-' dash and place this value into the desired attribute.

Thanks Richard. Do you have an examples? Was hoping there might have been a way in the GUI that i was not seeing?

I forgot to say that i am trying to do all this as part of a new user workflow , provisioning. Not sure how much that matters but thought i would add it.
