Simple question

Hi everyone,

I'm working with a large dataset, and I want to do something simple, but it's been a long time since I've used code. I'm familiar with VB and somewhat with python.

I have full road names...(ex. Main Street, First Street) in one field. I need to populate another field with just the 'Main' or 'First' parts of the road name. I'm pretty sure it's a simple script, and I have a lot of records to calculate.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
