Keeping N characters in a text string

[carl34]

Hello
I am on a trial of your wonderful software. How do I replace a text string with the 3 first characters of the same text string (i.e.just keep first 3 characters) ? The text string can be of any length and will start with "$" and end with ".csv".
Thank you!
Carl
