This returns a cleaned Username :D

In some cases, it does indeed. In other cases, it won't.
Take a look at the link markee posted earlier in this thread (this page). It shows the format used for the timestamp. If you look at that page you can see that 1 character isn't always replaced with 1 new character. So the length property of the registry string is not a reliable way to remove the timestamp. I thought of another way, but it needs some more testing before I post it.


edit: here it is, there must be a better/easier way to do it with regular expressions, but I suck at them so I did it this way...

code:

---

function UnStamp(StampedNick)
{
    if (StampedNick != "")
    {
        try
        {
            if (Messenger.MyUserId != undefined)
            {
                var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
                var SPRegPath = "HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\iAvatars.com\\StuffPlug\\"
                try
                {
                    var Splug = true;
                    Splug = WshShell.RegRead(SPRegPath + "DisabledFor" + Messenger.MyUserId) == 0;
                } catch (e) {}
                if (Splug)
                {
                    if (WshShell.RegRead(SPRegPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\TimeStamps"))
                    {
                        var StampFormat = WshShell.RegRead(SPRegPath + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\szTimestamp");
                        if (StampFormat != "")
                        {
                            var Nick = StampedNick.split(" ").slice(StampFormat.split(" ").length).join(" ");
                            return Nick;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (e) {}
    }
    return StampedNick;
}
