Default length of word

hi
assuming that your example data is characteritic of all your other data then
the easiest way would be text to columns
on the menu bardatatext to columns
select delimitedspace
make sure that you add a blank column next to your data. text to columns
will overwrite the data in the next column.

I have a column of data that read like

Glass Bacchus
Glass Alverdi


I want to first copy the "glass" text and put that info in another column

and then I want to delete the "glass" text so there are no spaces before the
Bacchus or Alverdi word

thank you
