Hi All I have a variable returned by my application. For clarity it is a post code so result could be EX3 T56 or BG56 G67 or CA2 123 But I only need the first bit of the postcode to continue my search. How do I set my var to only include the first bit of the postcode. It is returned in the format shown, so my question might be how I read only the first bit before the space. I fully appreciate any kind of help with this and as always thank you in advance for any help.
