using regex to get part of a string ?

Hi there, i wonder, is it possible to use regular expressions to partially select a string?

I have a bunch of server names which look like this


server1z-test
server2z2
server45z-primary
server13z3

I want to extract up to and including the 'z' in the server name, so for example


server1z
server2z
server45z
server13

everything to the right of the 'z' im not interested in

using the example above, is this possible using regular expressions?
