    Find 1st character after a space

    Hi, I want to return the initials of a name.

    ie Joe Bloggs, I want to have JB. Now, I can easily get the 1st initial; however, I am struggling to get the 1st character after a space.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks in advance
