Does anyone know if there is a string manipulation function that can be used to, from a note object, remove the post-fix characters from DB_PART_NO?

What type of post-fix characters are you getting that shouldn't be there?
 
For instance, if DB_PART_NO = XYZ-5-2345678-011ABC, I want to get rid of "XYZ-" and "ABC"
 
Is XYZ-5-2345678-011ABC the actual note text, or are you using <W@DB_PART_NO> and want to alter the output?
 
Yes, I want to alter the output of <W@DB_PART_NO> without changing the content of <W@DB_PART_NO>
