Hi,
I have a character field i'd like to clean up by using a delimiter.
for example my data has a bunch of codes that look like:
tmp435-abc
tmp902-cde
tp309-dmco
etc.
i'd like to clean up the variable to cut off at the '-' delimiter.
I'm not sure what the right function to use is.
Thanks for your help.
varname = scan(varname, 1, '-');
varname = scan(varname, 1, '-');
thank you.
