There may be a more "elegant" way to do this, but try something like this:

NumberVar x;
x := InStr({table.field}, " ");  //get the position of the first space
x := InStr(x, {table.field}, " ");  //get the position of the second space
Left({table.field}, x-1)
 
Note that there is no semi-colon after the last statement.
