I have a request string that gives a name e.g. John Brown. I want to 
create a string that will be jbrown. I am currently using the following 
code:

strText = Request("user")
intEndOfFname = Instr(strText," ")
str1 = Left(strText, 1)
str2 = mid(strText, intEndOfFname+1, len(strText))

But what I get is JJohn Brown.

What am I doing wrong.

Much appreciated.

Patrick

<%
arrName = Split(strName, " ")

If UBound(arrName) = 1 then
    strAbbreviatedName = Left(arrName(0), 1) & arrName(1)
Else
    Response.Write("Houston, we have a problem.")
End If
%>

Cheers
Ken
