Default Cutting Part of Text

Hi Guys, I have rows of data with varying text and numerical data. I want to
cut out some of the text but the problem I have is that I don't think I can
use =LEFT because the text from the left hand side is variable in length,
e.g. 735.HK or 1862.HK. What I would like to do is simply remove the .HK
part. Is there a function I can use to cut the predictable 3 characters at
the end (.HK) and and return the unpredictable 3 or 4 characters at the
beginning please?
Thanks
