Why not do something like: #ReReplaceNoCase(numvalue,"[[:punct:]]|[[:space:]]|[[:alpha:]]","","ALL" )# That will strip everything that's NOT numeric. There's probably a more elegant way using a NOT operator in RegEX, but I'm not the RegEX wiz. That said, anyone know of a good RegEX book?

BBEdit has a GREAT file/directory compare feature. But if you work on a Mac, you already use BBEdit, I'm sure.
