Opposite of concatenate

Hello

I would like to know what expression should be used to split data. Something similar to Excel's text to column functionality.  I have looked at the left and right functions, but really need to extract the text prior to other text.

See below example of lines;

6 Work Order

295 Work Order

I would like to extract the "6" and the "295" and left function will not work as the length is variable. I really need the left of the word "work"

Hope this makes sense.  cheers
