First of all, you need to initialize your z variable, in your case, to 30 (see
commented line above).  When you are running the script, the first time, z
may be set to 0, thus getting a string length of 0, meaning blank (answers the
part about it sometimes being blank).  Second run and thereafter, if you don't
have a clear in the beginning of the script, it is probably what you set it
to last, which would be 35, so it would be taking 5 more characters than you
wanted, thus having like the first name, some spaces, then the first 5
characters of the handle.

Also, Steve's version looks simpler - I totally had forgotten about the MID
script command...in fact I think I have always overlooked it, as it is never
used in any of my scripts...lol...that may change now...heh.
