Re: truncating items in a list

No problem.  Here's my process:

First, I open a text file into Excel.

Then I copy the values in one column into a range.

: copy the value of range ("G1:G" & z) to dateRange

(note that the value of an individual item of dateRange is in the
format 11/21/07 11:28)

Right about now, I want to perform a truncation on each item of
dateRange, leaving only the date string--I don't need the time.

Then, I will simply set the range equal to the list again.

I have the copying, and the later setting all taken care of.  It's the
step in the middle that is giving me trouble.

Additionally, I'd appreciate any help with mutating strings in general.

Thanks so much.
