Default Extracting a number in a text string

Hi Pogo,

try this module and use
=digitsonly(a1)

***********************************
Public Function DigitsOnly(sStr As String) As Variant
Dim oRegExp As Object

Set oRegExp = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")

With oRegExp
.IgnoreCase = True
.Global = True
oRegExp.Pattern = "\D"

DigitsOnly = oRegExp.Replace(sStr, vbNullString)
End With
End Function
*********************************************

I need to extract a number from a text string. For example, Cryo Technician
$100.00. I want to extract the $100 rate and use it in another function,
i.e., Rate x hours.

I hope I made myself clear. Thanks in advance.
