Hi,
I would like to extract a section of text from a list of drawing numbers.
For example ....
LEFT\ADV CONT\S3JL081P0251 REV D.DWG
LEFT\ADV CONT\S3JL081P0252 REV E.DWG
LEFT\ADV CONT\S3JL081P0253 REV D.DWG
LEFT\ADV CONT\S4JL081P0254 REV E.DWG
LEFT\ADV CONT\S4JL081P0255 REV F.DWG
LEFT\ADV CONT\S4JL081P0256 REV F.DWG
The part I want to extract is anything inclusive from "S3" or "S4" to the
end of the text string but not including the ".dwg" part
Please could someone help me with a function string to do this ?
Thankyou
