hi
I ve a list of item x = ( "xxxxx1"
                               "xxxxx2"
                               "yyyyx3")

I need to extract a new vector y  = ( "xxxx",
                                                   "xxxx",
                                                   "yyyy"
)
I mean, for each item I need to extract the first 4 digit
How is that possible?

Thank you
