I have strings that are all 16 characters and want to extract the letters at the beginning. The unfortunate part I cannot figure out is there are either two letters, or three letters at the start of every string. I’d like to export the two letters if there are only two and three if there are three.
Example data:
AB12345678912345
ABC1234567891234
Desired output:
AB
ABC
Is there a way to do this without a regex? If its a regex, I’ve been meaning to learn forever but not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
