Hi Nashaat,
There are various ways to get that.
If the text to trim always has the same number of characters use this method.

REMOVE:
Remove count: 8
Starting at: 1
Check Backwards.

If the number of characters can vary, then it is better to use the following method.
REPLACE: ^(.+)\s.+$
REPLACE WITH: $1
Use regular expression: Yes
Apply to name

Miguel
