Dear colleagues:
I have a set of long names structured as follows:
ABCD~~blablablablablablablablabla
EFGHI~~boobooboobooboo
JKL~~foofoofooblablabooboo
MNOPQRST~~oopsoopsoops
,etc.
I need to abbreviate these names in order to obtain
ABCD
EFGHI
JKL
MNOPQRST
etc.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Simon Rosenfeld
