It's wrong in a test...

Take a look at maxscript reference:
<string>substring <string> <from_integer> <length_integer>

<from_integer> and <length_integer> are pretty obvious and there are also examples in maxscript reference :)

So you might want to do something like this:
a = "good_morning_boy"
b = substring a 1 13

IIRC, a negative length (2nd argument) always gets you to the end of the string regardless of the magnitude. You need to subtract from the length of the string

try:

a = "good_morning_boy"
b = substring a 1 (a.count-4)
