Help with splitting variable

Sorry again, I have a set of data that is:
Aberaeron - Harbour (Fourth Groyne North)

How could I make it so if any set of data has over one word that it only shows that one word in my variable.
For example, Aberaeron - Harbour (Fourth Groyne North) would ideally be Aberaeron.

Re: Splitting Data on same line



Any idea how I could do it with the data I have?
If I understand the task correctly, you need something like this:
...
## The default item delimiter = COMMA, so need to set it here!
## tData is the list with the "city,number" pairs
repeat with i = 1 to the num of lines of tData
put item 1 of ...

Re: Splitting Data on same line

Sorry, just in a rush to figure this out.
I figured out that the code was designed for having one set of data on each line.

Any idea how I could do it with the data I have?

Hello btw :)
