I am attempting to rename a document from info within the document. Each file will have a field Name:.

The name is the Last, First.

I am trying to just rename with some number of the characters that follow like Last-1st 3 initials or even some fixed numer of characters.

I have never written apple script and cannot determine if this is possible with built in tools.

Thank you for any guidance

You shouldn't need AppleScript for this. Look up match patterns in the manual.
