    This is using vbscript? I haven't done any vbscripts myself but understand it's pretty similar to VB.

    At the following link navigate to: Scripting Concepts and Technologies for System Administration > VBScript Primer > VBScript Reference > Working with Strings > Manipulating Strings and String Lengths

    http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/default.mspx

    Around half way down you'll find info on the Right function which should get you at least half the answer to your 2nd question.

    For the first question have you tested whether it works for even one file? You'll need to be sure it does before writing a loop to cycle through all the files you want updated.
