How to strip certain part of a string from a variable.

Lets say

$result = "Partial Movement", "", "Nothing", "Nothing",

While the "Partial movement" will definitely vary between a 2-5 words value, was wondering how would I get rid of everything after the the very first ,.

So that $result would be just "Partial Movement". Also i understand that the " may cause eggdrop to have syntax errors so how would I proceed to remove the " after seperating the rest of the string after the first ,.

Thanks

Code: Select all

set result [string replace $result [string first , $result] end]
