First of all thank you, Winfried and Tim!
I ended up picking Tim's version with [list fromsymbol], [list split] and [list tosymbol] because it needs less objects. Works perfectly!
However, I had to add a [iemlib/mergefilename _] to eliminate blank spaces in some names. In order to change the names to work with [mergefilename] and [ list fromsymbol] I had to convert a few times with [s2l] and [l2s]. The underscores are converted to spaces again right before going to the LCD display.

With or without externals.
I need to cut names to fit a LCD display.
Thank you
