removing symbols from numbers
 

Hello,
I have a problem with removing objects from numbers. The
first problem is that I would like to remove a # symbol
and just get the real value.
For example I have values of #4 and #15 and would like it
to read just 4 and 15.

The other problem is that I have numbers such as 185/10
and 45/0 and so forth. I would only want the whole value
185 and 45 and not the symbol / or anything after it.
Can you help me.

Thank you

Chris
