Why not use the "cut" command?

man conky -> top_name_width

this is the solution

but, what do you mean, Lagagnon, with 'cut' ?

Well I mean something like this:

GPU ${execi 30 nvidia-settings -q "GPUCoreTemp" | grep 0.0 | cut -c 39-41}

where you use "cut" to extract certain pieces from a line of standard output.
