Delimeter removal in the Middle of numbers

543@456/456/334

 

I`m trying to skip the first delimiter and take out the first 6 numbers? 

so I get 543456, is there a way to do this in one go?

 

my thinking is I might just have to first to extract everything before the @ into a new column.

Then run the operation again to extract everything before the / forward slash, to take those next 3 figures into a new column.

Then merge those 2 new columns.


Is this an M code situation?

Another alternative where Data is column name

Text.Start(Text.Select([Data],{"0".."9"}),6)
