&#13;
I have a string in this format 1111/20150202&#13;
The / is the seperator but can be contained in the string as well&#13;
111/11/20150203&#13;
&#13;
so I cannot use left or string extract.&#13;
&#13;
I need to remove the last part with is always a date format yyyymmdd.&#13;
&#13;
If I use right I get that date so that is not good .&#13;
&#13;
I would really appricate some help on this . Thanks&#13;
&#13;
The first part( the part that I need) can be a lot of digits. the part that needs to be removed is always the date format YYYYMMDD&#13;
&#13;
Thanks&#13;
