What is the best way to delete all characters after a given one?

For example if I have

<span class=lwn0>
    Jul 6 - Sep 6
</span>

<span class=lwn0>
    Jul 7 - Sep 7
</span>

But I only want Jul 6 and Jul 7. How do I get rid of the " - Sep 6" and " - Sep 7" using jQuery?

It would seem like basic string manipulation. Get the index of the - and make a substring starting from to the index of -.

Here's the string object if you need a reference:

You can do so either by using string replace or substring as below.

$(".lwn0").text(function() {
    return $(this).text().replace(/-.+$/m, '');
});

$(".lwn1").text(function() {
    var txt = $(this).text();
    return txt.substring(0, txt.indexOf("-"));
});

Take a look at the demo to see it working.
