Remove a symbol and number from a file name VB

I am reading in a few file names that have the same basic title but have #n at the end, where n is some number. For example, Sony#1, Salmon#2, Cats#3, etc. I want to strip the #n from the end of the file name, so Sony#1 would become Sony and so on. How can I achieve this?

Dim fileName as String = "Sony#1"
Dim fileKeyword as String = Split(fileName, "#")(0) ' Sony

If the number is always preceded by # then you can try this:

Dim str As String '= "Name#3"
Dim sCat As String = str.Substring(0, str.LastIndexOf("#"c))
