Is there a way to truncate text using liquid markups

Question

I am looking to use liquid markups to truncate text of a product name. I know you can truncate through character count or word count, but I am looking to truncate a product name, almost like text to columns.

For example, if a product name is "Electric Guitar - Sky Blue", I want to truncate the product name only, so it just says "Electric Guitar". Every product name contains the " - ", so this would be consistent across the product set.

Any ideas? Thanks!

You can split product title with - and first name is print

Example: {{ product.title | split:'-' | first }} it will split from - and print Electric Guitar.
