String Control.. VFP Newbie...

[PogoWolf]

Hello all again,
I have another issue, that I'm not sure how to go about dealing with in FoxPro.. Let's say I have a 2 Strings:

"AAAA - Assurance AllState Automotive Appliances"
"BB - BumbleBees"

But I want that knocked down to "AAAA" and "BB"..
I know that All the data will is set with the Header followed by a space and the dash.. and then the rest of the string..

If VB I would use soemthing like this (where as *string* is the string:

sTemp = Trim(left(*String*, (InStr(*STRING*, "-&quot - 1)))

But How would I do something like this is VFP 3.0?

thank you in Advance!!!!!
