| I've tried looking through the Lua documentation for equivelents of VBScript's Left() and Right(), but I can't seem to find them.

| You might want to check string.sub. It does both of them at once.
string.sub(s, 1, 5) gets the first 5 characters.
string.sub(s, -5) gets the last 5 characters.
See:
