Return StringLeft($String, StringInStr($String, $S_From, $Case_Sense, $iOccurance) - 1) ;Check the helfile for more info about these functions
EndFunc ;==>RemoveStringAfter

MsgBox(0, 0, RemoveStringFrom("Atext & PAnotherU & Dontoer_HKSCS", " "))

"After a character" means after the first space or another character?

[MyEarth]

After the character, so after the first &:

Atext & PAnotherU & Dontoer_HKSCS

or leave as it as if don't have a &

Normal string without commercial e

I'll test the script of PhoneixXL

EDIT: PhoneixXL i can't use your script. I need to pass the same function on an array so i can't change parameter, i don't know if the string have or don't have a &

$aArray[4] = [3, 'Atext & PAnotherU & Dontoer_HKSCS', 'Fatang & FatangDhe & GungRuh & GangsuhChe', 'Normal string without commercial e']
For $x = 1 To $aArray[0]
    $aArray[$x] = RemoveStringFrom($aArray[$x], "&"))
Next

Water, did you test it?

Try to see the third string of the array ( so the string without & )

MsgBox(0,0,$aArray[3])

Result = Nothing

Insted the result must be: Normal string without commercial e

Test? No! Not possible on Ubuntu

Modify the function PhoenixXL provided:

Func RemoveStringFrom($String, $S_From, $Case_Sense = 0, $iOccurance = 1)
    Local $iPos = StringInStr($String, $S_From, $Case_Sense, $iOccurance)
    If $iPos = 0 Then Return $String
    Return StringLeft($String, $iPos - 1) ;Check the helfile for more info about these functions
EndFunc ;==>RemoveStringAfter

And why you are on Ubuntu?

Yes, if i check the string have or not have the & and the do the Func is the right solution, thanks to both

At home my main system is Ubuntu. Windows just runs in a virutal machine. I was just too lazy to start it up.

Why not something like this ?

#Include <Array.au3>

Dim $aArray[4] = [4, 'Atext & PAnotherU & Dontoer_HKSCS', 'Fatang & FatangDhe & GungRuh & GangsuhChe', 'Normal string without commercial e']

$char = "&"
For $x = 1 To 3
$aArray[$x] = StringRegExpReplace($aArray[$x], '(.+?)(?:\h*' & $char & ').+', "$1")
Next
_ArrayDisplay($aArray)

Why not something like this ?

Because both would serve the same purpose with the same simplicity, but with the regex the time consumption would be obviously more.
