Do you NEED to maintain the original format, or are you just trying to get the raw numbers? My guess would be you want to normalize the data by removing the random formatting, then possibly putting it into a consistent format? You could just use the REPLACE function to replace all dashes with nothing, thereby giving you just numbers. Another little trick I have used to strip out ALL non-numerics, not just dashes is the following run process (Unix only, via a set fields) Run Process $PROCESS$ echo "$STRING$" | sed -e "s/[^0-9]//g" Dane
