i am trying to split a field V99999-1-1234567891. What i want is the V99999-1. but splitting on the ” – ” using a 0 i get V99999, using a 1 i get 1 and using a 2 i get 1234567891. How do just keep the V99999-1 part?
Thanks for any ideas.
try this, assume “field” has the data and “result” will contain the stuff you want to keep;
set result [join [lrange [split $field -] 0 1] -]

This might work, too.
set value “”
regexp ^(.*?-.) $value match newValue
puts $newValue
Or something along those lines depending on exactly what you want to capture.
Also, maybe something as simple as string range may give you what you need?

Many roads… Another one that works:
set result [string range $field 0 [expr [string last “-” $a]-1]]
