I'm needing to update the names of some assets and CIs by removing some ending characters. I need to look for ' - ' (that's space - space) and then remove the ' - ' plus the characters after that.
Have not had to do this before, still looking into it. Thanks in advance for the assistance!

Hi David,
You can do this by regEx and replace. Here is an example you can test and reuse pretty much:
var test = 'goran - remove this';
gs.debug(test.replace(/\s[-]\s.*/, ''));//Göran

I was going down the same path. Really appreciate the quick reply.
This is what I was testing successfully so far.
var text = 'test - remove';
gs.print(text.split(' - ')[0]);What are your thoughts between the two?
