Here is an example:

var firstname = 'John';
var lastname = 'Wayne';

var user = firstname.substring(0,2) + lastname.substring(0, 3);

gs.print(user);

With results:

[0:00:00.004] Script completed in scope global: script

Hi Sergiu,

A slight modification, it should be first three letters from last name:

1. var firstname = 'John';  
2. var lastname = 'Wayne';  
3.  
4. var user = firstname.substring(0,2) + lastname.substring(0,3);  
5.  
6. gs.print(user);

Hi Sergiu,

From last name I need last 3 letters.

Use this then:

var user = firstname.substring(0,2) + lastname.substring(lastname.length - 3, lastname.length);
