    Help with a simple formula, deleting characters

    Hello, I have these filenames....

    Searchbtnselect ^AGR000020.png
    Visited ^AGR000021.png
    Height ^AGR000022.png
    Audiooff ^AGR000023.png
    Audioon ^AGR000024.png
    Background ^AGR000025.png
    ...and so on

    What formula will delete 9 characters after and including the ^.

    So i ultimately want this in the next column.

    =LEFT(A1,SEARCH("^",A1,1)-1)&RIGHT(A1,4)
