[LE] Created items don't keep the same ID across installations?

I must be doing something wrong. I have two computers running skyrim. (I know... stupid, but it's for a good reason... mainly that I don't want to screw up my main install.) I develop the mods on my main computer using my main install as the base, but then I transfer my .esp file and any scripts I use to the other computer for testing (completely vanilla install.)

 

So I duplicated an object in the creation kit, and the creation kit says it has a form ID of 02XXXXXXXX whatever. But if I enable another file before my esp file, that form ID gets changed to 03XXXXXXX, and on the other computer it's 0AXXXXXXXX.

 

I realize this is because for DLC the order of install changes the 2nd number, but why can't I just create a completely unique (and static) form ID? How on earth can I script an item with a changing ID? Is there a command to find the first two characters of the form ID? (The rest were the same.)

 

EDIT: Turns out "getformfromfile" is what I wanted.
