Thank you Volodya, this worked a treat. Here is the code for anyone curious:

rule get-current-project-name ( )
{
    import project ;  
    local current = [ project.current ] ;
    local currentid = [ $(current).name ] ;  
    local attributes = [ project.attributes $(currentid) ] ;
    local suffix;
    suffix = [ $(attributes).get id ] ;
    return $(suffix:B) ;
}

Regards,
Matthew
