Hello, can anyone help with a template I'm trying to make for cover generation? I want it to take a text field that's a series of 2+ names separated by slashes, and return just the first word of each name, retaining the slashes.

i.e., so that "John Doe/Jim Smith" would show as "John/Jim" on the generated cover.
