Is there a checker available for spell-your-name, where the last letter of the found caches is relevant?

In the specific challenge http://coord.info/GC4W282, no traditional caches are allowed.

Is it the last letter in the name or the last character? are you allowed to remove non alpha? Do you have to include non alpha character from your name? any other rules?
Google translate are not good enough for reading challenges rules.
It is the last character of the cache`s name.

Here is a good example for a successful log proof

User is C-D-K

His logs are :

Tintenherz bei Nacht / NC (GC2J5RE, Whereigo), gefunden am 26.04.2014
- Die Erleuchtung - (GC3HRD8, Mystery), gefunden am 14.12.2014

Based on the "Generic spell with different <parameter>" script by Seagnoid, this should not be too hard. Adding a config parameter telling to use the beginning or end of the "word" to that script should be sufficient.

The specific rules for this challenge state that:
1. Spell your username using the final letters/characters of each cache name.
2. You MAY spell out numbers in letters (three instead of 3).
3. Everything but traditional caches are allowed.
4. Every cache can be used only once.
5. Logs without proof will be deleted.

I guess the hard one to put in is rule number 2 (especially because this may be language dependent), but for now we could skip that.

With StringLen() one can figure out the length of the cache name, and then using StringSub(string,len,len) gets the final character.

Just noting that the requester has tagged the script mentioned, so that this question no longer comes up as unanswered.
