Hi, using your code, how about left(:str, position('**' in :str)-1));
select left(:str, position('**' in :str)-1)) from yourtable
However, to make things easier for future users, think about changing
the single '*' to e.g. '-' and then you can keep your existing select
statements and not have this problem when a new ABC*DEFG********01
becomes ABC*DEFGHIJKLMN*01
