Calculating a column based on a character within a string

[Christine Gopon]

I'm trying to figure out if this is possible:

I have a string dataset that consists of well names, for example:

7/16-2

35/1-1

6401/12-11 S

I would like to calcuate a new column that returns the first part of the string, before the / character. So in this example the return would be

7

35

6401

I don't believe the "left" function will work in this instance, so I am wondering if there is another option to do this Thanks!

Please check out the feature to extract parts of a string with a regular expression with the RXExtract() function:

RXExtract([your.column],"[[:digit:]]+",1)Here you could also split your column. Check out the Split() function as well:

Split([your.column],"/",1)
