I'd go with Bondi's suggestion, unless you have substrings like 4Jan06
or 2 aug 99.

Hi,

How would I grab the date out of a string where the date text is
located at the end of the string? The string is of variable length. IE

"I need your help 2 jun 2006"
"I have no idea what I'm doing 2 jun 2006"

I'll need to convert the date string into a integer date value.
Thanks for your help
