Arcade labeling to return the characters before a dash.

I'm trying to create an arcade expression to return all the characters before a dash. The field contains these values:

PE - Polyethylene

STL - Steel

AA - DuPont Aladyl-A

TR-418

I thought that this arcade code would help to label the line feature:

Trim(Left(DomainName($feature, 'MATERIAL'),3))

It help solve the issue with the steel, but this was no help since the TR-418 does not have a space between the R and dash, and it return "TR-".

Any ideas now how I can create this arcade code to label the line without the dash.

You can use Split to divide it at the dash and take the First value from that array

Trim(First(Split(DomainName($feature, 'MATERIAL'),'-')));
