Any way to split a string (label or value) on a report?

WVField

My select_one menu has a list of plants (scientific name then a hyphen then the common name)

eg. Quercus rubra - Red Oak

I would like to display just the scientific name on the output. Is there a way to split the string into 2 substrings using that hyphen as a marker? I'd like to do something like ${ species | substr(getValue:"",'-')}  kind of function call

 Or some other idea that accomplishes the same?

Thanks

Did you find a solution to this? I have a field that looks like "Business Name" - "ID" - "Address" that I would like to separate into different fields. The original field is coming from Workforce and then into Survey123.
