Hello,

I am looking for a documented overview of MapInfo string functions.  The
help menu is bogus as well as the Ref Guide.

I want to do several things:

1.  Take a character column with commas and numbers and covert into a
decimal (8,3) column without losing the values
     Example:  Character column 12,34,56

          Output expected:  12.3456

     What currently happens is I get a column with 0.0000

2.  I have a character column with spaces after the 2nd and 4th characters,
I want to convert this to a integer column dropping the spaces

Example 12 34 56
     Output expected:  123456

If someone know of a good detailed document which both explains the string
functions and samples of these functions, I would be most grateful..

Regards,

Philip Chinnici
GIS Officer
