Is there a way to intelligently parse a field in VI?
I have the following data:
10102-11 Gladiator 2.8 1:10 Mounted Tires - Stampede 4x4 - 12mm Hex
I need to extract the part number, 10102-11. The problem is, it is not always 8 characters. Essentially, I need to find the first space and take everything prior to that.
In Excel I would do this: =left(A1,find("" "",A1)-1)
Can that be done with the VI toolset?
