Field Calculator Arc Map 10.2

Question

I'm learning as I go , I can't figure out the correct script. I have data in a column named Full_Name which has 3 words ex: Arnault Branch Rd and I want to break it out to StreetName column to be just the first two words Arnault Branch. The Script I'm using is !Full_Name!.split(" ", 1)[0][]1

Answer 1

You can use Python codeblock in field calculator:

Codeblock:

def two_words(field):
    result = field.split(' ')
    return result[0] + ' ' + result[1]

Field2:

two_words( !String!)

And the result:

Answer 2

Or without codeblock: u' '.join(!Field!.split()[:-1])
