Hi,
if the first characters are numerics, no need to use regexp, since mysql does
implicit conversion if you do calculations :
mysql select '10.95 tiitti' from dual;

+--+
| 10.95 tiitti |
+--+
1 row in set (0.09 sec)
mysql select '10.95

non-numeric values which took
the first two characters of the field (they were some kind of garbage
characters) anyway the
following did the trick
update tbl_products set p10_price=mid(p10_price,2) where p10_price regexp
