Hi, wondered if anyone could help. I have an alpha numeric string that i want to just take the numerics out of and insert into a different variable. Any advice on how i can do this?

You can use Evaluate
EVALUATE(Integer, string)
Now the 2nd question is this just a string containing numbers or does the string contain letter too that have to be removed?
Or did I get this wrong completely and you really want to take a phone number (as an example) and just get the numbers and leave out spaces, dashes, parenthasis, etc.txtCharsToKeep := '0123456789'; "Phone No." := DELCHR("Phone No.",'=',DELCHR("Phone No.",'=',txtCharsToKeep));

The string can vary in length and the numbers can be anywhere in the string.
eg string 1 reads AAA11BB
string 2 reads CCCC3DDDD4
I would want to return 11 from the first string and 34 from the second string0 -
Var txtCharsToKeep ->Type Text Size->30
code/txtCharsToKeep := '0123456789'; "Your String" := DELCHR("Your String",'=',DELCHR("Your String",'=',txtCharsToKeep));
In your case you want a new string variable to contain the numbers only.txtCharsToKeep := '0123456789'; "Your NEW String" := DELCHR("Your OLD String",'=',DELCHR("Your OLD String",'=',txtCharsToKeep));
