I'm sure this is very simple!!! I have a field in my DB called fares which contains a single string in each of the records. The string looks something like this: �562.50�562.50�587.50�562.50�445.00 Each fare is to correspond with a date which is stored in exactly the same way. I've managed to split the date up ok as this is a set number of 8 characters but the prices could vary a lot so I'm needing to split it up by the � character. I've been looking at the left,mid and right functions but I've not managed to find anything on how to implement it in this particular way. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
