What language are you writing your CGI in?

Any decent language, you ought to be able to pick out either the first x 
characters, or strlen(variablename)+1, and whack them off.

That is how CGI works.

All data sent from a form is sent <variablename>=<value> when
value is not NULL.

You have to parse the variable data out of the string to use it.
