    Hi,saimrpp

    your syntax some part is wrong , you need to put %FileNameNoExtension% in double quotes

    you can try this syntax :- wscript.echo Left("%FileNameNoExtension%",30)

     

    ( Note :- if you got your solution then you can marks as solution and gives thumbs or kudos)

     

    thanks & Regards
