What about using trim() after right()? I'm not clear on what you want, the SG part or the number that's left?
Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 11:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Braindead stripping question Must....get....more....coffee... I have a variable passed, ie SG101 or SG 1004 I have to strip the first two characters as those are always constant. So I can't use right() since the numerical portions after the reliable two characters may fluctuate in terms of number of characters...what is best function to accomplish? TIA. Regards, Eric J.
