Default Counting # of characters before a certain character

Here is my example:

1 - fksdlafjd
2 - dklsafj
3 - lkdfjad
.......
.....
10 - salkjdfjdsl
11 - dklsafjsdj;lfdf

I am trying to grab the beginning # and put it in a different cell. This is
the formula that I am trying: =value(left(cell_ref,??????)). This is not
working for me. Any other ideas?
