Apparently it is also possible with regsubst, like this:
regsubst($hostname, '^(.{7})(.*)', '\1')

I assume that you can use the sprintf function (from Puppet core).
sprintf("%20.8s", "string test") #=> " string t"

Another dumb question, but I can't find what I'm looking for. Does Puppet have
a function that's equivalent to the substr() function in Perl? I want to
truncate arbitrary strings to 7 chars but I can't see how to do this with any
of the built-in functions or functions in stdlib.
e.g. substr('hello', 4) returns 'hell'
Thanks,
Jonathan
