You just need to rename Table1 to your table name and aa_test to
your datasource
<cfquery name="get_students" datasource="aa_test"
dbtype="ODBC">
SELECT studentid,studentdetails
FROM Table1
</cfquery>
<cfloop query="get_students">
<cfset myString=studentdetails>
<cfset new_string=ListFirst(myString,"-")>
<CFQUERY NAME="UpdateClient" DATASOURCE="aa_test">
UPDATE Table1
SET studentdetails='#Trim(new_string)#'
WHERE Table1.studentid=#studentid#
</CFQUERY>
</cfloop>
