Try to add more spaces into text cell (i.e : 7) to get unique text with at least 7 spaces:
=LEFT(A1,FIND("@@",SUBSTITUTE(A1&REPT(" ",7)," ","@@",7),1)-1)

Hi pomper,
Try this formula instead in B2 when your long strings are in A2.
=TRIM(LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A2," ",REPT(" ",LEN(A2))),7*LEN(A2)))
One test is worth a thousand opinions.
