Subject: [U2] Question about a dictionary item

Hi,

I have a multi-value attribute that's made up of free text remarks.  
However, we put a couple of system messages there as well.   I need to 
extract the 6 digit number that follows the "COMBO YS " in the line 
below, but I'm having trouble setting up the conversion code in the 
dictionary.

Misc Text}Misc Text}COMBO YS 073102}Misc Text

Could someone give me some suggestions?
