hi all,
one of my column values containin hyphen(-) in it.
for ex the input seems like 1200-12,563467-093,3789652-02.
In this scenario am in need of the value before the hyphen only and meanwhile the number of digits before the hyphen will greatly vary.Can any one help me to how to get the required value?

Thanks in advance,
veera.

Why did you not mention that fact in your original specification?!!

Would it have been so hard for you to try it, rather than ask?

In this case you are lucky, the function will return the entire input string if it contains no delimiter character.
