Hi All,
I need to be able to return an account number (7 digits) from a text string. The account number is preceded by a colon. I'm very familiar with find, left, len, right functions, etc. My problem is the there can be several colons in the string and the position changes. For example: Text 1 1000000 · Cash & Cash Equivalents:1010000 · Cash Accounts:1012000 · IBT:1012600 · IBT Cash {WF} Text 2 1000000 · Cash & Cash Equivalents:1010000 · Cash Accounts:1013000 · IBT - B of A What I need is 1012600 from the first string and 1013000 from the second. I can't figure out how to obtain the position of the last colon in the string. TIA, Allan |
