How do I get rid of this extra text?

[Jeffro]

I have several lines of text formatted as such:

title text – some more text blah blah blah

 

How do I delete everything after title text from every line ( the and ndash and after)? 

 

Thanks!

Is the format always the same, with the literal '–' in it?

 

$str = "[text to keep] –' [text to remove]";
$new = trim(substr($str, 0, strpos($str, '–')));
echo $new;  // returns "[text to keep]"

Many thanks.  Worked perfectly!
