Hi
I am looking to grab the first few positions of a field before the '*" but as you can see the * is not in the same position of every record. I just want what is BEFORE the *
Below are sample records - not sure if a substring would work and if so how?
example
card id
12345*companyname
1234*companyname
99999999*companyname
22*companyname
