| So I have a column named class, with data such as:DC (pre 1P2007)CC-MHC-COR1 f3.0h23|DC (pre 1P2007)R-1|M-1|S-UN|S-R|M-X1|R-2M|R-1s|R-1N|S-SPR|M-2 (pretc.What I need to do is select everything to the left of the first | in each row. So from the above, i'd be left with:DC (pre 1P2007)CC-MHC-COR1 f3.0h23R-1Any tips on how to do so? |
