Default extracting after a symbol

You can use functions like the following for a text string stored in cell A1:

=LEFT(A1,FIND("=",A1)-1)

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("=",A1))

Hope that helps,

what would be the correct formula to use to extract before or after a
specific character.

For example, if one cell has "Afghanistan=AF". I need to extract everything
before the "=", so that the next cell will just read "Afghanistan". Thanks.
