Talking Extract Numbers from Zip Code

I have a column of zip codes
Ex: 12345-0000

I want to extract only the six-digit zip code and eliminate the additional 4-digit extension. How can this be done?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Karen

I actually just figured this out by applying the answer to another question I asked.
Thank you all!
