Hi,all. I'm trying to do the research and learn the proper syntax, but I keep getting confused by the web page descriptions. Just a little background: I am a visual learner. I was great in Geometry but my algebra teacher said "Jeff tries very hard but has no natural aptitude" :-) In other words, I can see pictures in my head and rotate 3D puzzles, but abstract equations with symbolic language become a complete mystery to me. Rather than pester this group for basic questions, can anyone recommend a short site or GOOD, SIMPLE book that would show me how?
In the meantime, I'm faced with a complex replacement problem.... I would appreciate instruction on it. My client wants me to take a tool tip for hundreds of items and wants me to add a tab after the item number and then remove numbers at the end of the phrase. As a sample the numbers and letters up to the first space are the item number. Description text is variable in lenght and the last set of numbers are to be removed. The codes are only numbers preceded by a space. 26119BCZZD002CR01 Edward Piguet Tourbillon with Diamond Bezel White and lots of gold stuff 73245 Any help and instruction greatly appreciated.
