How do I get specific words within a text?

[shtom]

The below table is what I get from a search on Splunk"

ActiveLoadId
Jabber_for_iOS-12.1.2.270036
Jabber_for_iOS-12.0.1.263155
Jabber_for_Android-12.5.1.276987
Jabber_for_Windows-11.9.3.60004
Jabber_for_Windows-12.5.0.22884

But what i want is to modify the output text under Field "ActiveLoadID" to see the first few characters. Example below:

ActiveLoadId
Jabber_for_iOS
Jabber_for_iOS
Jabber_for_Android
Jabber_for_Windows
Jabber_for_Windows

My current query is:

 "ActiveLoadId=Jabber_for" | rare limit=20000 ActiveLoadId

Appreciate your help!
