How to trim a value?

Hi guys, 

I have a problem here. the existing code looks like SG01_MEATY_ABCD_SG and i need to trim it removing front and back , and just keep the word "MEATY".  other code like "SAUSAGE001" with no special code at the front and back , should remain as it is. 

I have attached a sample qvw file. 

 

Please help guys!

Thanks.

Rgds,

Jim
